Routledge - Genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda: New Perspectives

Explore fresh academic insights into two of the most significant historical events of the late 20th century. This volume by Routledge provides a deep look into the genocides in Rwanda and Cambodia, moving beyond the standard narratives that typically focus solely on motives and victimology. Instead of repeating known details about the 1975-1979 Cambodian genocide or the 1994 Rwandan genocide, this book examines unexplored dimensions. It investigates how regional politics influenced these tragedies and analyzes the specific ways social institutions were used to carry out mass violence. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in war crimes and military history. By looking at the structural and political factors that allowed these events to occur, the text helps build a more complete understanding of how large-scale violence is perpetrated and sustained within specific societal frameworks.
