Genocide Debate

DONALD W. BEACHLER Associate Professor of Politics at Ithaca College, USA.

"In his timely new book, The Genocide Debate , Donald W. Beachler makes a compelling case that studying the politics of genocide scholarship is as important as studying genocide itself. By showing how different episodes of mass killing - in Rwanda, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Nazi Germany, and the Ottoman Empire - have been politicized, he offers a useful comparative perspective on a topic of great contemporary relevance." - Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, Associate Professor of History and Director, Judaic Studies Program, Fairfield University
