| Summary |
The social construction of genocide reflects the deeper question whether the rigid legal concept of genocide - as it emerges in the Genocide Convention and has been maintained ever since - still corresponds with the historical and social perception of the phenomenon. This book is the product of an intellectual encounter between scholars of historical and legal disciplines which have joined forces to address this question. |
