Description
Based on three absorbing case studies, the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda, this volume marks the first international, comparative, and multidisciplinary attempt to situate rescue as a research object. The result is an exceptionally rich and disturbing volume that reveals an essential historical truth: while it might be impossible to isolate the factors that turn an individual into a rescuer, informal underground networks, however fragile, inevitably form the moment genocide appears. Compiled by three leaders in genocide studies, this collection features thirty contributors from eleven countries and maps the characteristics of an enduring phenomenon. Jacques Semelin is a historian and political scientist and senior researcher at CERI Sciences po-CNRS, Paris. Claire Andrieu is professor of contemporary history at the Institut d'Ttudes politiques Sciences Po, Paris. A former member of the Fact-Finding Mission on the Spoliation of Jews in France (1998-2000), she is a specialist on the French occupation and the liberation. Sarah Gensburger is a sociologis and political scientist, and junior researcher at the CNRS-Institut de Sciences Sociales du Politique. --Book Jacket.
