Reviews

Lemarchand's Forgotten Genocides is an excellent contemporary compilation of significant authors contributing to the growing academic consciousness on genocide. This is achieved by focusing their intellectual arts on less known acts of mass violence. . . . This book is certainly a must-read in any such research path a scholar may take within this area. * <i>Human Rights Quarterly</i> * Thanks to [Lemarchand's] painstaking effort, readers now have more knowledge of the scope of genocides in history. Moreover, they can better analyze, from a global and comparative perspective, the universality and particularity of these incidents. . . . Highly recommended. * <i>Choice</i> * Required reading for students of human rights and the general public alike. By utilizing a common analytical framework and emphasizing similar mechanisms that account for these 'forgotten genocides,' this volume stands out as an important and cohesive body of work. * <i>Historical Justice and Memory Research Network</i> *
