Description

A re-examination of genocide, viewing the issue as the defining element in political sociology of our time. The work is divided into five parts: "Present as History"; "Past as Prologue"; "Future as Memory"; "Toward a General Theory of State-Sponsored Crime"; and "Studying Genocide". This fifth edition concludes with chapters reviewing the natural history of genocide studies from 1945 to 2001, along with a candid self-appraisal of the author's work in this field over four decades.
