  • The first in its class, this dictionary offers a comprehensive overview of the field of genocide studies. In over 600 entries, the dictionary provides information on the definition, theories, history, prevention, intervention, and denial of genocide. Covering everything from the UNs definition of the term to the mechanisms employed when genocide occurs, the book traces the history of genocide and offers detailed information on genocide from around the globe. The events covered range from the Armenian genocide in the early 20th century to the most recent genocides in Rwanda, Srebrenica (Bosnia), and those currently taking place in Darfur....well written and easy to follow....Recommended for all public and academic libraries. [Available electronically through Greenwood Digital Collection.]

  • As studies of genocide in different fields proliferate, the authors have sought to provide a reference work "that accurately, clearly, and concisely delineated genocide-related terminology;" the two volumes list and define thousands of terms: concepts, events, organization, persons.
