Series Description:
Genocide is a recurring crime against humanity whose implications cast a
dark shadow over the future. While the Holocaust is the ultimate and
archetypal genocide, genocide continues in Africa, Southeast Asia,and
elsewhere. Repetitious global patterns associated with this crime include:

solving the ³problem² of the existence of a designated victim group; the
semantic manipulation of language to disguise murder; the complicit
indifference of onlooker nations; and the emergence of denial in the
wake of genocide. Moreover, there are problems associated with defining
the term within the context of the ³global village² and how to implement
early warning systems and how to coordinate economic, political, and
military responses. The focus of the Series is on implications of the
genocides and their contemporary lessons and legacies.

Types of Books and Audience:
Each book in the Series will focus on the historical, religious, or
human rights implications of the genocides. Books will be
