| Summary: | If Europe in the twentieth century was marked by the tragedies of ethnic conflict, Southeastern Europe has been popularly cast as particularly steeped in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Recent scholarship has done much to contextualize ethnic violence in the region, but such studies generally have focused on events and countries in isolation. The question of whether there are commonalities between instances of ethnic cleansing and genocide in the Balkans invites comparative study that links the policies of disparate states across the modern period. In Balkan Genocides, author Paul Mojzes seeks to provide a balanced synthesis that brings together episodes of ethnic cleansing and genocide in the region throughout the twentieth century. |
