Review # 1 was written on 2020-10-05 00:00:00 Paul Andrade Highly dense and academical, this book deals with Lemkin's definition of genocide and tries to find a new one that will fit our times, and to the main issue which is the fact the no genocide was ever stopped from happening by the United Nations.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-24 00:00:00 Andrew Masenas Poignant An intellectual challenge to the superfluous conceptualization surrounding the academic genocide literature. Shaw's position seems like common sense, but in the shadow of the obfuscation of genocide by academics and state politicians, his ideas attempt to shift the trend and bring genocide back to its most fundamental , sociological form . Great read for those of us new to the field of genocide and state violence.
