Genocide: An Anthropological Reader helps to lay a foundation for a ground-breaking "anthropology of genocide" by gathering together for the first time the seminal texts for learning about and understanding this phenomenon. Chapters by some of the 20th century's most important thinkers: (e.g.) Raphael Lemkin, Hannah Arendt, Leo Kuper, Akbar Ahmed, Michael Taussig.  ISBN: 9780631223542

The genocides of modern history-Rwanda, Armenia, Guatemala, the Holocaust, and countless others-and their effects have been well documented, but how do the experiences of female victims and perpetrators differ from those of men?

The focus of this page is genocide, politicide and democide; these are different types of organised killing targeting particular groups for their ethnicity, religion or political beliefs.

The Genocide Archive of Rwanda collections contain over 100 testimonies from survivors, rescuers, elders, and perpetrators of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Please be aware that some testimonies contain sensitive content.
