The study of genocide and mass atrocity abounds with references to
emotions: fear, anger, horror, shame and hatred. Yet we don't
understand enough about how 'ordinary' emotions behave in such
extreme contexts. Emotions are not merely subjective and
interpersonal phenomena; they are also powerful social and
political forces, deeply involved in the history of mass violence.
Drawing on recent insights from philosophy, psychology, history,
and the social sciences, this volume examines the emotions of
perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. Editors Thomas Brudholm and
Johannes Lang have brought together an interdisciplinary group of
prominent scholars to provide an in-depth analysis of the nature,
value, and role of emotions as they relate to the causes and
dynamics of mass atrocities. The result is a new perspective on the
social, political, and moral dimensions of emotions in the history
of collective violence and its aftermath.
