| Summary: | James Waller's central argument in Confronting Genocide: Engaging Our Responsibility to Prevent Genocide is that “the world as it is now is not the world as it has to be” (p. xxvii). From that profoundly optimistic starting point, his goal is to “present an analysis of genocide in the modern world that draws out the lessons to be learned in preventing genocide from ever taking place, preventing further atrocities once genocide has begun, and preventing future atrocities once a society has begun to rebuild after genocide” (p. xxvii). |
