Rezensionen

"This volume is a welcome addition to the wealth of scholarship onthe topic of genocide, important for the heretofore penury ofphilosophical attention to this phenomenon ... This volume will befound valuable reading, if troubling and controversial in parts, byany educated adult and would also be useful as a provocative textin university studies of genocide." Wendy C. Hamblet, NorthCarolina A&T State University

"Where genocide is concerned, philosophy and philosophersneed approaches that are more heads-up and hands-on. Fortunately,Genocide's Aftermath provides some significant examples of suchphilosophical work. The best work in this book favors historicalspecificity over theoretical abstraction." NotreDame
