Summary:

This is a groundbreaking analysis of modern genocide. Sabby Sagall draws on the insights of the Frankfurt school and Wilhelm Reich to create an innovative combination of Marxism and psychoanalysis. He applies this unique theoretical framework to four modern genocides that of the Native Americans, the Armenians, the Jews and the Rwandan Tutsis. This pioneering book adds to our understanding of some of the darkest hours of humanity - and how we can stop them from happening again. Book jacket.
