Product Description
Review
Alex J. Bellamy, International Affairs
"Its contribution as a text that might be useful pedagogically is beyond question."
British Journal of Sociology
"Martin Shaw argues that genocide studies have mistakenly focused on the intentions of the perpetrators and the identities of the victims rather than on the structure of conflict situations. He wants us to return closer to Raphael Lemkin’s original definition of genocide, which focused on attacks by the armed on the unarmed. Genocide, Shaw says, is a form of war directed against civilians. Whether we will all agree on how to define terms like ′genocide′ or ′ethnic cleansing′, his book is a model of conceptual clarity and cogent argument, a valuable addition to the literature, greatly assisting our understanding of genocide."
Michael Mann, University of California, Los Angeles
"By re–examining the sources of the genocide concept in the thought of its inventor, Raphael Lemkin, in light of classical and contemporary social theory, Martin Shaw is able to correct the cumulative distortions in definition and analysis of earlier practitioners of ′genocide studies′, thereby making genocide a viable category with which to understand perhaps the most disturbing aspects of the past and present world. Scholars in the field will welcome his intelligent discussion of the issues even where they may differ in emphasis."
Dirk Moses, University of Sydney
Product Description
This compelling book will undoubtedly open up vigorous debate, appealing to students and scholars across the social sciences and in law. Shaw′s arguments will be of lasting importance.
