Sommario/riassunto |
|
The twentieth century has been called, not inaccurately, a century of genocide. And the beginning of the twenty-first century has seen little change, with genocidal violence in Darfur, Congo, Sri Lanka, and Syria. |

Why is genocide so widespread, and so difficult to stop, across societies that differ so much culturally, technologically, and politically? That is the question that this collection addresses, offering a range of perspectives from different disciplines to attempt to understand the pervasiveness of genocidal violence. |
