Steven Jacobs
-[A collection of] powerful stories related by some of the 25
contributors to Pioneers of Genocide Studies, edited by
Samuel Totten and Steven Leonard Jacobs. These autobiographical
accounts are extremely interesting, both because they allow insight
into why the various scholars entered the field of genocide
studies, and because they summarize many of the scholars' key
findings and intellectual preoccupations... [D]efining
genocide--and equally, explaining what is not genocide--is very
important, both in order to invoke the law of genocide as it now
stands and to extend the umbrella of the law to those who ought to
be protected by it, but are not... This inspirational volume will
help... continue work in this stressful field.- --Rhoda E.
Howard-Hassmann, Journal of Genocide Research -Will
genocide ever end? No one can be sure, but if hope for a
genocide-free world persists, considerable credit belongs to
pioneers of genocide studies such as those represented in this
informative book. Following in the footsteps of Raphael Lemkin, who
coined the term genocide, the leading scholars who speak in these
pages show not only how they became committed to genocide
prevention but also what steps must be taken if genocide is to
afflict humanity no more. Inspiring and instructive, Pioneers
of Genocide Studies maps paths and policies that twenty-first
century life urgently needs to take.- --John K. Roth, Russell K.
Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College and
author, Holocaust Politics -Sam Totten and Steve Jacobs
have collected an astonishing array of scholars to reflect on their
work in the area of genocide studies. Individually and
collectively, these essays are alternately thoughtful, prophetic,
enlightening, and moral. What reader could ask for more?
Pioneers of Genocide Studies will help shape the lives and
work of future scholars in this important and evolving field.-

Genocide Studies, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey
