Genocide

Key Themes

Oxford University Press 2022

Donald Bloxham and Dirk Moses have offered us a unique opportunity--a chance to see authors and editors in conversation with each other and themselves about the state and nature of Genocide Studies.

Genocide: Key Themes (Oxford University Press, 2022) emerged out of an effort to update and slim down their earlier, larger volume The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies.  In the just more than a decade between the two, the field has pushed forward in a variety of directions.  

Moses and Bloxham have used this opportunity to create a volume that interrogates both the field itself and the state of its emergence.  Some of the chapters are revisions of essays originally written for the Handbook, allowing the authors to expand, reframe or even withdraw their original ideas. Others are commissioned for this volume and reflect the new directions taken over the past decade.

It's a distinctive and compelling contribution to the field.
