Genocide is at once a legal, historical, and sociological concept it is subject to considerable definitional dispute. Dirk Moses of the University of Sydney, it is a six-volume collection of foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship. And, moreover, events such as the Sudanese government’s genocidal counter-insurgency in Darfur suggest that, like war, genocide is a pervasive feature of human society that is here to stay.Īddressing the need for an authoritative and comprehensive reference work to enable users to make sense of-and to navigate around-the ever more complex research corpus, Genocide is a new title in Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Historical Studies series.
