Questions relating to human rights are very much in the news, yet genocides in Africa, especially those that occurred during colonial times, are understudied. The history of the Herero genocide has been examined by very few writers and almost no-one from Africa. Sarkin's book deals with the issues from an entirely different point of view, provides new information not included in the existing literature, and proposes understandings from an alternative position.
