Series Description:
Genocide is a recurring crime against humanity whose implications cast a dark shadow over the future. While the Holocaust is the ultimate and archetypal genocide, genocide continues in Africa, Southeast Asia,and elsewhere. Repetitious global patterns associated with this crime include:

solving the ³problem² of the existence of a designated victim group; the semantic manipulation of language to disguise murder; the complicit indifference of onlooker nations; and the emergence of denial in the wake of genocide. Moreover, there are problems associated with defining the term within the context of the ³global village² and how to implement early warning systems and how to coordinate economic, political, and military responses. The focus of the Series is on implications of the genocides and their contemporary lessons and legacies.
