The world and Darfur

The crisis in Darfur has led to systemic and widespread murder, rape, and abduction, and forced displacement of millions of civilians. This book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to provide an understanding of the international response to the crisis in Western Sudan. The authors look at lessons learned from United Nations failure to intervene during Rwandan genocide, the representation of Darfur in mainstream media, atrocity investigations, activist and NGO campaigns, art exhibitions and political rhetoric, and role of international community in genocide prevention and intervention. A common theme is the succession of political, bureaucratic, and informational barriers that prevented international community from staging effective action--Publisher's description.
