Reviews
It is the great merit of the editor to have assembled a large compilation of diverse texts. * Patrick Hein, Political Studies Review *
This monumental compilation provides a compelling and up-to-date survey of genocide starting with its contested definition and historical patterns and moving to its widespread ramifications, including responses in law, media, and psychology. Jens Meierhenrich has done students, teachers, and the public a great service in collecting these sometimes little-known materials and capturing the state of a pivotal discussion in so comprehensive and responsible a way. * Samuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History *
With its comprehensive introduction and compilation of critical essays in the field, this volume will be a key resource for anyone - students, scholars, practitioners, or lay readers -- interested in genocide. * Alex Hinton, author of Why Did They Kill? Cambodia in the Shadow of Genocide *
