MODERN GENOCIDE

As painful and challenging as it may be to learn and teach, genocide is critical for students to study if they’re to grow into informed citizens of the world.

ABC-CLIO’s Modern Genocide: Understanding Causes and Consequences is the only database dedicated to examining genocide, covering 10 modern examples. It offers definitive expertise on this delicate subject and aids teachers in expanding the discussion to include human and civil rights. It empowers students to fully understand the events and conditions that lead to genocides, helping them to recognize repeated historical patterns and work to diminish the hatred that could lead to future genocides.

Please note: Some content contains explicit language on sensitive topics. We invite you to use the free trial to ensure it meets your institution’s guidelines.
