Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians
Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians
combines the latest scholarship on the Armenian Genocide with an
interdisciplinary approach to history, enabling students and teachers
to make the essential connections between history and their own lives.
By concentrating on the choices that individuals, groups, and nations
made before, during, and after the genocide, readers have the
opportunity to consider the dilemmas faced by the international
community in the face of massive human rights violations.
While focusing on the Armenian Genocide
during World War I, the book considers the many legacies of the
Armenian Genocide including Turkish denial and the struggle for the
recognition of genocide as a "crime against humanity." The book can be
integrated into courses dealing with multiple genocides, human rights,
as well as history courses covering the late 19th century and World War
I as well as U.S. international relations.
