The Scourge of Genocide collects essays, reviews, and reportage on the subjects of genocide and crimes against humanity by Adam Jones, recently selected as one of "Fifty Key Thinkers on the Holocaust and Genocide." The volume includes a number of previously-unpublished essays, and explores a range of debates and approaches in comparative genocide studies, such as:
  • Genocide, pedagogy, and visual representation.
  • Gender and "gendercide."
  • The role of media and communications in genocide.
  • The historiography of genocide studies.
  • "Subaltern genocide," or genocides by the oppressed.
  • Strategies of genocide prevention and intervention.
Covering a broad spectrum of theoretical perspectives, as well as case studies from the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel/Palestine, this book is essential reading for all scholars and students of genocide studies, political violence, and international relations.

Notă biografică

He is the author of the bestselling textbook, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introducton (second edition, Routledge, 2011), and author or editor of a dozen other books, mostly on genocide and crimes against humanity. They include Gender Inclusive: Essays on Violence, Men, and Feminist International Relations (2008), Gendercide and Genocide (2004), and Genocide, War Crimes and the West: History and Complicity (2004).

Recenzii

"Despite the weight of the subject, The Scourge of Genocide proves perfectly engaging, occasionally even peppered with a bit of humour, evident especially in the chapter ‘Encompassing Genocide’, wherein Jones details his efforts to put together his comprehensive introduction of the subject (and how he debated with his publisher the use of typical skull pictures for a cover). Moreover, the book is richly illustrated with photographs, and Jones cites not just scholarly texts and official reports but also rap lyrics and novels in making his points. The result is a book accessible to scholars and students alike, a rare page-turner that informs and enlightens, but never overwhelms." Guy Lancaster, Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture
