The Broken Promise

INHALT

After the Holocaust, the world promised: "never again." Since then, humanity has wrought genocidal havoc from Cambodia to Rwanda to Bosnia to Darfur. Now in the Twenty-first Century, the suffering continues with the Uyghurs in China, the Rohingya in Burma, the Yazidis in Iran, and Ukrainians at the hands of Russian government. THE BROKEN PROMISE draws from the forward-thinking ideas of scholars and policy- makers, revealing why genocides occur and the ideas and institutions that stand against it. And, how the trauma of genocide is passed from one generation to another. The Broken Promise shines a light on the ways we can defend ourselves against genocide - and finally ensure that "never again" is now.
