Introduction The Genocide of Indigenous Peoples

This volume of Genocide: A Critical Bibliographic Series focuses on the genocides of indigenous peoples across the globe. With the exception of Leo Kuper’s chapter (“Other Selected Cases of Genocide and Genocidal Massacres: Types of Genocide”) in the first volume of the series, very few chapters in the various volumes have addressed, at least in any detail, the plight and fate of indigenous peoples. In part, this volume was developed to rectify this oversight. ¹
