Ethnic Cleansing

""I am not aware of another book on ethnic cleansing that tackles the subject in the manner in which Larry May does here. The conceptual and normative approach, along with philosophical and legal, are fascinating and compelling, and will make this imminently engrossing and accessible to students and scholars alike. This is an outstanding and very timely book."" Jeffrey S. Bachman, American University, author of The Politics of Genocide: From the Genocide Convention to the Responsibility to Protect “The subject of this book is timely and will remain timely. This is a topic that, unfortunately, does not disappear and any scholarly discussion of it will hopefully be beneficial in shaping international law and the debates surrounding it. Larry May’s new book makes an important contribution towards this, examining the legal and social implications of ethnic cleansing, and utilizes critical historical and contemporary case studies in powerful and engrossing ways."" Stefanie Kunze, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Northern Arizona University ""The concept of ethnic cleansing has always been somewhat of a paradox. It has captured the popular imagination as a common-sense description of a particular kind of collective crime, yet international law uses other categories to penalize this behavior. Larry May’s book, better than any other, explores and ultimately resolves this tension in a profound way. A stunning and impactful achievement."" Jens David Ohlin, Allan R. Tessler Dean & Professor of Law, Cornell Law School
