Neither a case study of a particular genocide nor a work of comparative genocide, this book explores the political constraints and imperatives that motivate debates about genocide in the academic world and, to a lesser extent, in the political arena. The book is an analysis of the ways that political interests shape discourse about genocide. Contents: Introduction: A Most Sensitive Matter / Bangladesh: The Politics of Genocide Neglect / Arguing About Cambodia Genocide and Political Interest / Who Was the Biggest Victim? Genocide and the Politics of Suffering / The Disputed Fate of the Ottoman Armenians / Genocide Provocation: The Ottoman Armenians and the Rwandan Tutsis / Final Thoughts: Still Others Seek Their Due September 2011 212pp Hardback £55.00
