Abstract
The whole package, coming in at just over 300 pages, has the feel
more of a scholarly book than it does a single journal issue, and it
practically demands employment as such – for this volume has both
the philosophical heft and general accessibility to serve as a primer
to the field of genocide studies. While its modern historical case
studies are limited to a meager handful of sub-Saharan nations (with
two of them focusing upon Zimbabwe), they are all excellent works
that provide a useful template for further inquiry. Moreover, the Dag
Hammarskjöld Centre generously makes this issue along with others
in the Development Dialogue series, available for free download at its
website. If this volume is indicative of the broader work of the Dag
Hammarskjöld Centre, then people of goodwill across the world have
a valuable ally in their struggle against inhumanity and violence.
