The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies.

Print version record.

Genocide has scarred human societies since Antiquity.

In recent years, the discipline of 'genocide studies' has developed to offer analysis and comprehension.

Thirty-four renowned experts study genocide through the ages by taking regional, thematic, and di.
