Reviews / Votes
"One of this impressive volume's many virtues is the inclusion of little-known cases along with coverage of the twentieth century's mega-genocides by experts from many countries. This is a standout volume in an increasingly crowded field."Dirk Moses, European University Institute, Italy
"It is time to further explore genocide in its global scope. This brilliant collection of essays comes right in time: From Siberia to Australia, from Los Alamos to Srebrenica, this volume presents genocide as a phenomenon in its full diversity and its global spread."
Alexander Korb, University of Leicester, UK
"Using the concept of "genocide" as a broad category of analysis, the essays in this volume address important questions about the history of mass violence around the globe. Revealing the historical, geographical, and ideological variety of genocidal acts - and highly attuned to the complexity of this sensitive subject - the book offers valuable insights into the history of violence and will be useful for researchers and teachers in a wide range of fields."

"...this is an impressive undertaking that provides a comprehensive investigation of genocide in the twentieth century. The selections are probably a bit dense for undergraduate students, but the collection certainly justifies inclusion in a graduate course on the topic of genocide and is an absolute necessity as a resource for anyone who teaches an undergraduate course on the subject. The contributors should be applauded for articulating a theoretical framework that provokes critical inquiry and avoids uncompromising conclusions."
Alan Rosenfeld, University of Hawai'i-West O'ahu, World History Connected
"This collection of essays brings together some of the best of the established and new voices of comparative genocide studies. By liberating genocide from its narrow legalistic concept and application, the contributors open up new historical and geographical areas to research into population displacement, settler colonialism, state and local mass atrocities and memory and commemoration of genocide and state-sponsored killings. In doing so, it expands our horizons to better recognize the social, economic, political and cultural conditions that make genocide and mass atrocities possible and hopefully work to prevent them."
Christopher E. Mauriello, Salem State University, US
