Evoking Genocide: Scholars and Activists Describe the Works That Shaped Their Lives

Evoking Genocide: Scholars and Activists
Describe the Works That Shaped Their Lives

Toronto: The Key Publishing House Inc., 2009

"Evoking Genocide comprises sixty brief essays, fascinatingly diverse,
each deploying a particular textual or visual touchstone in an effort to reveal
the author's struggle to confront the ultimate crime. The best of them bring us
powerfully close to the singular agony that comes from taking genocide seriously,
from refusing to turn away from evil even if it is unfathomable."

- Mia Farrow, advocate and actor

Crimes Against Humanity: A Beginner's Guide

Crimes Against Humanity: A Beginner's Guide

Oxford: Oneworld Publications, 2008

"A remarkable book that is immediately accessible for the novice in the field,
or students, and yet also engages with its topic in intellectually interesting ways
for the more seasoned reader. Helps chart the way forward for those already thinking about,
or tussling with, the horrors of humanity and the seemingly ever evolving capacity
to shock the conscience."

- James Gow, Professor of International Peace and Security, King's College London

"The noise about the web is all about its use for selling and buying. Huge changes it will bring. But the best change may be a new empowerment of the individual; a return to pre-Gutenberg days, when one man's voice could reach as far as almost any other." - The Economist, 31 December 1999.

"You're starting to see something on the web that is very unique to it. The ability to center your intellectual life in all of its different appearances in your own 'presence' online, on the home page, so that you can actually have the equivalent of an author bio. Except that it's dynamically updated all the time, and there are links to everything you're doing everywhere. I think we've only just begun to exploit it -- of combating the problem with the free-floating intellectual, which is that you're floating all over the place and you don't necessarily have a home, and your ideas are appearing in lots of different venues and speaking to lots of different audiences. The web gives you a way of rounding all those diverse kinds of experiences and ideas -- and linking to them. ... And it also involves a commitment to real engagement with your audience that perhaps public intellectuals have talked a lot about in the past, but maybe not lived up to as much as they could have." - Steven Johnson, in "The Future of the Public Intellectual: A Forum," The Nation, February 12, 2001.
