Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a logical analysis of genocidal intent, which analyzes the necessary theoretical framework needed to understand its complex structure.
Trade ReviewThis subtle book advances our understanding of genocidal intent in two ways: by surveying various ways in which scholars believe that genocidal intent is manifested during episodes of mass killing or other destructive acts, and by proposing an account of genocidal intent as a breach of intersubjective understanding and empathy during campaigns to preserve political power or national security within a state. -- Hannibal Travis, Florida International University
