Sommario/riassunto

This volume offers an introduction about theoretical concepts, forms, and the impact of genocidal violence. It thereby intends to serve as a



source of texts that can be used in a variety of introductory courses on genocide and the violence that occurs during genocidal events in particular. It will consequently also offer a survey on debates and recent research about the history, sociology and psychology of violence.
