Remembrance of long forgotten crimes is not the volume's only purpose—equally significant are the rich quarry of empirical data offered in each chapter, the theoretical insights provided, and the comparative perspectives suggested for the analysis of genocidal phenomena. The contributors, scholars in political science, anthropology, history, and other fields, seek to restore these mass killings to the place they deserve in the public consciousness. Unlike the Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia, or Armenia, scant attention has been paid to the human tragedies analyzed in this book. From German Southwest Africa (now Namibia), Burundi, and eastern Congo to Tasmania, Tibet, and Kurdistan, from the mass killings of the Roms by the Nazis to the extermination of the Assyrians in Ottoman Turkey, the mind reels when confronted with the inhuman acts that have been consigned to oblivion.Forgotten Genocides: Oblivion, Denial, and Memory gathers eight essays about genocidal conflicts that are unremembered and, as a consequence, understudied.

For those who think that the death of Jews and Armenians is more or less unique, this book is more or less brililiant. As a Christian, I do consider our allowing the Jews to be slaughtered to be a special case in and of itself. But these brilliant chapters do indicate that the subject is vastly wider than these two crimes against humanity.One point in passing: this book notes clearly that Germany is guilty of more than one genocide. Here this man's work on the Herero murders i. "Sombre stuff, but important to know about." according to lyndonbrecht. Five stars but this is not a book one actually "loves." It's somber stuff, troubling evidence of human savagery and just as troubling, how genocides can be lost to common memory. The book is short but quite long enough to list a number of horrors.The book considers genocide of the Gypsies (at the hands of Nazis). It looks at Assyrian Christians, massacred in the tens of thousands a century ago and now, maybe again, if today's news is correct. It looks at mass murder in the Congo (a complex and savage mess). It looks as genocide
