This volume deals with aspects of genocide in Rwandaand Cambodia
that have been largely unexplored to date, including the impact of
regional politics and the role played by social institutions in
perpetrating genocide. Although the "story" of the Cambodian
genocide of 1975-1979 and that of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 have
been written about in detail, most have focused on how the
genocides took place, what the ideas and motives were that led
extremist factions to attempt to kill whole sections of their
country's population, and who their victims were. This volume
builds on our understanding of genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda by
bringing new issues, sources, and approaches into focus.The
chapters in this book are grouped so that a single theme^s explored
in both the Cambodian and Rwandan contexts; their ordering is
designed to facilitate comparative analysis. The first three
chapters emphasize the importance of political discourse in the
genocidal process. Chapters 4 and 5 examine social institutions and
explore their role in the genocidal process. Chapters 6 and 7
describe the military trajectories of the genocidal regimes in
Cambodia and Rwanda after their overthrow, showing that genocide
and genocidal intents as a political program do not cease the
moment the massacres subside. The final chapters deal with private
and public efforts to memorialize the genocides in the months and
years following the killing.Drawing on ten years of genocide
studies at Yale, this excellent anthology assembles high-quality
new research from a variety of continents, disciplines, and
languages. It will be an important addition to ongoing research on
genocide.
