Editorial Reviews

Review

`One should thank SAGE for their decision to re-print this book (in an updated form which includes the discussion of works printed after the original publication of the survey in 1990) and so make it available to scores of scholars... a very special merit of Fein′s treatment of the problem of genocide is that it is distinctly sociological... The book is an attempt to narrate and to understand genocide studies from their specialist cage, exposing the general-sociological import of the phenomenon and the knowledge which its study may supply... Her purpose [is] to render genocide ab object of concern and a `home issue′ for soicology, it is no wonder that delineating the phenomenon in such a way as to make that possible is a foremost imperative... One hopes that the survey will be widely read, and not just by `experts′ on genocide. Any sociologically informed reader will discover just how intimately the accumulated knowledge of genocide and the theoretical thinking has triggered, affects his or her own areas of social research - however distant it may seem in our world of institutionally compartmentalised knowledge′ - Sociology

`The book is written with proper academic distance and objectivity. Helen Fein aims for, and succeeds in, dispassionate analysis of the phenomenon of geocide. Yet, paradoxically, the book is also filled with empathy and passion - as the author calls it `a passion to understand′. It is a penetrating, intelligent and highly original contribution that should be read by all who seek to comprehend the sources of genocide′ - Peter R Baehr, University of Utrecht, Chair of PIOOM Foundation
