- Summary
- "First published in 1992, Centuries of Genocide addresses genocides perpetrated in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. Recognized experts in the field of genocide studies come together to contribute original essays, accompanied by highly informative and powerful first-person accounts. The new edition of this market-leading textbook includes a revised introduction and updated chapters with new research and insights. Four new case studies of contemporary genocide bring this horrific history up to the present moment: Argentina's Dirty War, the genocide of the Yazidis by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), genocidal violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar, and China's genocide of the Uyghurs. As with previous editions, the chapters remain consistent in their format to allow for student understanding of this challenging subject. Authors address the same set of questions about each genocide: Who committed the genocide? How was the genocide committed? Why was the genocide committed? Who were the victims? What were the outstanding historical forces and trends at work that led to the genocide? What was the long-term impact of the genocide on the victim group? Powerful survivor testimonies from each genocide bring the secondary essays to life and help students to grapple with the difficult lessons presented throughout the book."-- Provided by publisher.
