From the early efforts that emerged in the struggle against
Nazism, and over the past half century, the field of genocide
studies has grown in reach to include five genocide centers across
the globe and well over one hundred Holocaust centers. This work
enables a new generation of scholars, researchers, and policymakers
to assess the major foci of the field, develop ways and means to
intervene and prevent future genocides, and review the successes
and failures of the past.
The contributors to Pioneers of Genocide Studies approach the
questions of greatest relevance in a personal way, crafting a
statement that reveals one's individual voice, persuasions,
literary style, scholarly perspectives, and relevant details of
one's life. The book epitomizes scholarly autobiographical writing
at its best. The book also includes the most important works by
each author on the issue of genocide.
Among the contributors are experts in the Armenian, Bosnian, and
Cambodian genocides, as well as the Holocaust against the Jewish
people. The contributors are Rouben Adalian, M. Cherif Bassiouni,
Israel W. Charney, Vahakn Dadrian, Helen Fein, Barbara Harff, David
Hawk, Herbert Hirsch, Irving Louis Horowitz, Richard Hovannisian,
Henry Huttenbach, Leo Kuper, Raphael Lemkin, James E. Mace, Eric
Markusen, Robert Melson, R.J. Rummel, Roger W. Smith, Gregory H.
Stanton, Ervin Staub, Colin Tatz, Yves Ternan, and the co-editors.
The work represents a high watermark in the reflections and
self-reflections on the comparative study of genocide.
