<p>In this second edition of his wonderful book, Shaw shows thatdefinitions matter in explaining genocide. Incorporating recentwork he gives a highly-intelligent view of genocide, broadlydefined as in Raphael Lemkin?s original coining of the term. If youwant to read a general work on genocide and ethnic cleansing, thisshould be your first choice. Michael Mann, University of California, Los Angeles <p>The first edition of What is Genocide? rightly became an instantclassic. The second edition adds depth on Raphael Lemkin, thenotion of genocidal massacre and the structural dimensions ofgenocide. It is essential reading for teaching and thinking aboutthis troubling subject. Dirk Moses, European University Institute
