Redefining Genocide by Martin Short
This book critically examines the legal and moral meanings of genocide, arguing that the 1948 Genocide Convention’s narrow, politically shaped definition both excludes many grave group-targeted harms (such as political group killings, cultural destruction, settler colonial violence, and ecocide) and encourages inconsistent moral and policy responses; the author maps the historical and conceptual failures of current law, distinguishes legal from moral uses of the term, and proposes a rethinking of the category so that prevention, accountability, and scholarship can better address the full range of systematic efforts to destroy groups and their ways of life.
