Synopsis

Jones (international studies, Center for Research and Teaching, Mexico City) collects his seminal 2000 article on the emerging field of gendercide and others from the Journal of Genocide Research, plus several new essays. Issues raised in such diverse contexts as slavery in the U.S., the 1994 Rwanda massacres, and the potential of bioengineered eugenics weigh whether a gender lens can help understand and combat sex-selective discrimination and atrocities.
