• Description:xiv, 258 pages ; 24 cm
  
• Summary:"There have been numerous books on genocide in the last twenty years, but "To Kill a People" offers a different approach. It is one of the few books on genocide expressly written for use in the college classroom. The book includes four case studies--the Armenian, Nazi, Cambodian, and Rwandan genocides--and substantive introductory and concluding chapters that contribute to two key debates within genocide studies: how to define "genocide" and place it in relation to other mass atrocities, and how to detect and analyze the social, historical, and cultural forces that produce genocidal violence."--Provided from publisher.
