Beskrivning
Split into three volumes, The Cambridge World History of Genocide offers an analytical survey of genocide across six continents from prehistory to the twenty-first century. Combined, they compare and contrast cases in multiple different cultures and contexts, demonstrating common themes and sharp variations that have developed over time. By examining the long-term and immediate causes of genocide, these essays emphasize that genocidal intent has historically been shaped by structural factors and human decision-making. Featuring over 80 essays from experts across the field, together they cover ancient Carthage, the Holocaust, medieval Crusader massacres, Mongol conquests, the extermination of Indigenous peoples in European settler colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Australia, as well as prehistoric mass graves from the Alps to the Andes, and the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. A much-needed addition to genocide studies, these volumes reveal how genocide is a world historical phenomenon that has operated under different names and capacities, but possesses similar key characteristics.

Recensioner i media

'One can appreciate the level of care taken to properly tell these narratives at level which is both informative yet concise, in order to fully outline the facts. The historical analysis is superb, and the supporting visual sources (maps, figures and images) are of a high quality, which fully aids in the nature of the arguments made. What makes this series stands out from the other historical monograph is the relevancy it still has today, beyond the realms of scholarly endeavour, to the lives of people throughout the world.'
