Books in the Studies in Genocide: Religion, History, and Human Rights series

Balkan Genocides is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of the three major waves of genocide and ethnic cleansing (including the Holocaust) in the Balkan peninsula during the twentieth century-from the Balkan wars to World War II to the wars of Yugoslavia's disintegration.

In The Genocide Contagion, esteemed scholar of genocide Israel W. Charny asks uncomfortable questions about what allows people to participate in genocide-either directly or indirectly. Charny draws on both historical and current examples to press readers to consider how they may contribute to genocide in other countries.

Unstable Ground looks at the human impact of climate change and its potential to provoke some of the most troubling crimes against humanity-ethnic conflict, war, and genocide. The author examines the ways in which resources and global migration patterns will be impacted by climate change and create conditions conducive to violent conflict.
