Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Scourge of Genocide collects essays, reviews, and reportage on the subjects of genocide and crimes against humanity by Adam Jones, recently selected as one of "Fifty Key Thinkers on the Holocaust and Genocide." The volume includes a number of previously-unpublished essays, and explores a range of debates and approaches in comparative genocide studies, such as:
Genocide, pedagogy, and visual representation.
Gender and "gendercide."
The role of media and communications in genocide.
The historiography of genocide studies.
"Subaltern genocide," or genocides by the oppressed.
Strategies of genocide prevention and intervention.
Covering a broad spectrum of theoretical perspectives, as well as case studies from the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel/Palestine, this book is essential reading for all scholars and students of genocide studies, political violence, and international relations.
