SOUTH EAST ASIA:

Abstract

Political Violence in Southeast Asia Since 1945 is an important and timely contribution to the interdisciplinary literature on mass political violence in an understudied region. While a plethora of single case studies on this topic exist, editors Eve Monique Zucker and Ben Kiernan have compiled an impressive set of essays organized around several core themes, including (but not limited to) “Dimensions of Mass Violence”, “Minorites and the State”, and “Justice, Ethics and History”. The volume is epistemologically and methodologically diverse, featuring contributions from a range of social science disciplines, thus introducing students and scholars to new perspectives on political violence.
