| Publisher Description: Genocide in Comparative Perspective offers a concise introduction to genocide in modern world history. It emphasizes the transnational dimensions of the phenomenon, looking at the way in which victim and perpetrator groups have lived and died across borders and the way regional and international rivalries facilitated mass murder. The book explores genocide as a historical phenomenon, rather than a legal concept; it breaks new ground by moving beyond a simplistic, one-cause interpretation towards a more sophisticated model that considers both negligent and deliberate genocides of various types. Genocide in Comparative Perspective looks at a range of genocide case studies in order to provide students with comprehensive global coverage of the topic, including: - The Holocaust- Cambodia - Armenia - Indonesia - The Americas - Liberia - Sierra Leone - Central Africa - Stalinist Russia - Maoist China This book is the essential introduction to the history of genocide in one succinct, readable volume. |
