Synopsis

An exploration of the political constraints and imperatives that motivate debates about genocide in the academic world and, to a lesser extent, policy choices in the political arena, this book is an analysis of the ways that political interests shape discourse about genocide. It consists of case studies of Cambodia, Bangladesh, the Ottoman Armenians, and the Holocaust, and a comparative study of the concept of genocide provocation as applied to the Armenians and Rwandan Tutsis.
