ABSTRACT
The book project is a transdisciplinary project contributed by scholars that remain engrossed in dogged determination, rigour, and attention to detail. This introduction chapter has engaged in theorising the notions of genocide and xenophobia to critically analyse the socio-cultural, historical, and infrequently structural contexts triggering xenophobia leading to various forms of violence—riots, attacks on civilians, mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. The chapter then outlines the overview of the following 11 chapters by pulling together the key findings.
