Too often books on genocide and mass atrocity studies suffer the defect of being centred in one discipline and focused on the causes or events of the genocide. This book does not. It is very usefully interdisciplinary and suitably examines the impacts, effects, and legacies of massive human rights abuses in several contexts. It explores the efficacy of a range of responses, legal and others, to massive human rights abuses. There is tremendous value to this book for
readers from a range of disciplines who are interested in going beyond what the literature usually offers.
