One would hardly expect a volume on genocide to make for easy reading. Not only does the subject matter push our understanding of humanity to its limits, but since the early 1990s the developing field of genocide studies has evolved primarily within a legal framework (with some notable exceptions). This edited volume bucks that trend. It provides a series of relatively short, pithy chapters by scholars in political science, history, law, philosophy, anthropology, and theology, and thereby stretches the bounds of scholarship on genocide. The volume as a whole seeks to blur the distinctions between risk and resilience, prevention and coping, and origins and aftermaths, and focuses not only on the destructive vision of genocide, but also on the multiple and often localized forms of resistance and recovery that are typically overlooked. It is this emphasis on resistance and mitigating factors that really breaks new ground. Furthermore, the strength of the book lies not only in what it does, but what it does not do: it does not compartmentalize Africa as a site of particular violence, and it is not driven by rights language and agendas. It therefore allows us to draw parallels between different contexts and historical periods in which the ‘otherness’ of Africa, and the multiple policy agendas associated with it, is not the starting point for analysis.
