Herman and David Peterson examine the uses and abuses of the word "genocide." They argue persuasively that the label is highly politicized and that in the United States it is used by the government, journalists, and academics to brand as evil those nations and political movements that in one way or another interfere with the imperial interests of U.S. capitalism. Thus the word "genocide" is seldom applied when the perpetrators are U.S. allies (or even the United States itself), while it is used almost indiscriminately when murders are committed or are allegedGenocideHistoryPolitical crimes and offensesElectronic books.GenocideHistory.Political crimes and offenses.364.15/1364.151Herman Edward S148173Peterson David1959-962898MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910479942703321The politics of genocide2183347UNINA
