Description
This work studies genocide with particular reference to the civil war in Rwanda and the violence between the Hutu and the Tutsi.
Michael Ignatieff says: 'It's a very impressive piece of work, a scholar's attempt to move beyond the cliches of horror towards a genuine understanding of the social dynamics which made horror possible. It's a good example of relevant, committed and passionate scholarship.'
North America: Princeton U Press
