Trade Review"The field of genocide research has become confusing, even for experts, due to the high number of annual publications. An edited volume that explores the general significance and problems of the concept of genocide across disciplinary boundaries is therefore very welcome. The editors have chosen contributors who are experts in the field, be they seasoned scholars or relative newcomers who have been doing ground-breaking work on the subject. All have a slightly different view and approach to the concept of genocide, which is what makes this book so exciting." Alexa Stiller, University of Zurich and co-editor of Reassessing the Nuremberg Military Tribunals: Transitional Justice, Trial Narratives, and Historiography
“[Genocide] deals with the limitations of the concept of genocide from different perspectives and through several case-studies in a skillful way. Overall, it has significant implications for further studies on the politicization of genocide.” Cecilia Ducci, International Affairs
