The essays in this volume investigate how evolving, contemporary views on mass atrocity frame and complicate the possibilities for the understanding and prevention of genocide.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors ask, among other things, what are the limits of the law, of history, of literature, and of education in understanding and representing genocidal violence? What are the challenges we face in teaching and learning about extreme events such as these, and how does the language we use contribute to or impair what can be taught and learned about genocide? Who gets to decide if it's genocide and who its victims are? And how does the demonization of perpetrators of atrocity prevent us from confronting the complicity of others, or of ourselves?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough a multi-focused and multidisciplinary investigation of these questions, \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Atrocities\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the vibrancy and breadth of the contemporary state of genocide studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott W.
