Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction Adam Jones Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is the most wide-ranging textbook on genocide yet published. The book is designed as a text for upper-undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a primer for non-specialists and general readers interested in learning about one of humanity's enduring blights. Over the course of sixteen chapters, genocide scholar Adam Jones: * Provides an introduction to genocide as both a historical phenomenon and analytical-legal concept. * Discusses the role of imperialism, war, and social revolution in fueling genocide. * Supplies no fewer than seven full-length case studies of genocides worldwide, each with an accompanying box-text. * Explores perspectives on genocide from the social sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science/international relations and gender studies. * Considers "The Future of Genocide", with attention to historical memory and genocide denial ; initiatives for truth, justice, and redress ; and strategies of intervention and prevention. Written in clear and lively prose, liberally sprinkled with illustrations and personal testimonies from genocide survivors, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is destined to become a core text of the new generation of genocide scholarship. An accompanying website (www.genocidetext.net) features a broad selection of supplementary materials, teaching aids, and internet resources.
