Genocide occurs in every time period and on every continent. Using the 1948 U.N. definition
of genocide as its departure point, this book examines the main episodes in the history
of genocide from the beginning of human history to the present. Norman M. Naimark
lucidly shows that genocide both changes over time, depending on the character of
major historical periods, and remains the same in many of its murderous dynamics.
He examines cases of genocide as distinct episodes of mass violence, but also in historical
connection with earlier episodes. Unlike much of the literature in genocide studies,
Naimark argues that genocide can also involve the elimination of targeted social and
political groups, providing an insightful analysis of communist and anti-communist
genocide. He pays special attention to settler (sometimes colonial) genocide as a
subject of major concern, illuminating how deeply the elimination of indigenous peoples,
especially in Africa, South America, and North America, influenced recent historical
developments. At the same time, the "classic" cases of genocide in the twentieth Century
- the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Bosnia -- are discussed, together
with recent episodes in Darfur and Congo. -- Provided by publisher
