Forgotten Genocides

Oblivion, Denial, and Memory
Herausgeber: Lemarchand, Rene; Lemarchand, René

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In eight case studies written by recognized experts this book offers a major contribution to the comparative analysis of genocidal phenomena. Besides tapping a rich vein of empirical data, this collective effort breaks new ground in analyzing how denial, oblivion, or manipulated memory tends to mask the hideous realities of mass killing.
