520 _aGenocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is the most wide-ranging textbook on genocide yet published. The book is designed as a text for upper-undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a primer for non-specialists and general readers interested in learning about one of humanity’s enduring blights. Fully updated to reflect the latest thinking in this rapidly developing field, this new edition: 1. provides an introduction to genocide as both a historical phenomenon and an analytical-legal concept, including an extended discussion of the concept of genocidal intent, and the dynamism and contingency of genocidal processes 2. discusses the role of state-building, imperialism, war, and social revolution in fueling genocide 3. supplies a wide range of full-length case studies of genocides worldwide, each with an accompanying box-text 4. explores perspectives on genocide from the social sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science/international relations, and gender studies 5. considers "The Future of Genocide," with attention to historical memory and genocide denial; initiatives for truth, justice, and redress; and strategies of intervention and prevention.
