Genocide Paperback - 2004 - 1st Edition

by William D. Rubinstein


From the publisher

Genocide is a topic beset by ambiguities over meaning and double standards. In this stimulating and gripping history, William Rubinstein sets out to clarify the meaning of the term genocide and its historical evolution, and provides a working definition that informs the rest of the book. He makes the important argument that each instance of genocide is best understood within a particular historical framework and provides an original chronology of these distinct frameworks. In the final part of the book he critically examines a number of alleged past and recent genocides: from native Americans, slavery, the Irish famine, homosexuals and gypsies in the Nazi concentration camps, Yugoslavia, Rwanda through to the claims of pro-lifers and anti-abortionists.

From the rear cover

Many people believe that we live in an age of genocides . William

D. Rubinstein provides a unique chronological account of genocide down the

ages, ranging from infamous mass murders directed by Hitlwer, Stalin and Pol Pot through

to slaughters virtually unknown today, such as the Taiping

rebellion in China and the appalling mass killings

in Paraguay during the 1860s.

Challenging existing definitions, opinions, and statistics, "Genocide's"""

gripping historical narrative and original arguments make it thought-provoking

and stimulating read.
