5.0 out of 5 stars
Our evil side,
By Gary Scott (SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The History and Sociology of Genocide: Analyses and Case Studies (Paperback)
This anthology begins with an analysis of genocide, specifically how the authors/editors defined it and decided which historical acts were genocidal and which were not. It the includes readings covering 1,000 years of gruesome history. More a souce book than an analytical monograph.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The History and Sociology of Genocide: Analyses and Case Studies (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on Genocide it would be hard to find such a quality book - the topic is not a highly common theme to be found in most bookstores, this volume is well worth a go.
The book starts introducing Raphael Lemkin's coining of the word "genocide" during WWII, and the UNs adoption of the term in 1946, but looks at a much longer history (of course) when discussing cases from around the world: I was going to list nations addressed but there are just too many. The Americas, Asia, India, Africa, Australia, Japan are all covered to some degree. I should emphasize that the book is academic in nature. A reader should be keen on either developing an understanding of Genocide, Sociology or History. It will only be a riveting read for such an audience and perhaps a reference for other, but because you are searching for this topic (reading this review) you obviously have interest - so I would not hesitate in recommending this book. Other reviewers have rated this book high as well. As of the time of this posting there was one 3 rating - but this had more to do with the shipping of the book and not related to the product itself. Its 4 Star +.

Genocide not the solution,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The History and Sociology of Genocide: Analyses and Case Studies (Paperback)
The book is an excellent presentation of genocide through history, but it does not deal with cases of genocide where the uprooting or indigenous population is done through a policy of long-term attrition designed to change the demographic structure of a geographical space by the implementation of policies whose purpose-by making their life miserable through confiscation of landm desroying social strucures, hampering free circulation and propaganda deshumanizing them, deligimitmizing political revendicationsm etc.is to force the local population to empty the country. A state in the middle east has been particularly successfull in the emplemetation of this policiy for the last 62 yearsm with the unconditional military and political support of all the great democraties in the world. But censorshipm however water-proof it is will not do the job of totally suppressing the legitimate rights of the original people, even if the other party claims a divine right to this country.
