Genocidal Mind

Autor Jack Nusan Porter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mai 2006
The Genocidal Mind offers unique and under-explored analyses of the Holocaust and the phenomenon of 20th century genocide within a sociological framework. With reference to contemporary scholarly work and using the latest in social structural, psychoanalytical, post-modern, chaos, and uncertainty theory, Dr. Porter attempts to explain why people dehumanize and kill other innocent people. The author also probes the deviant, sexual side of the Nazi party, including the mind of Adolf Hitler.

Recenzii

The collected essays of Dr. Jack Nusan Porter reveal a life-long commitment to serious in-depth analysis of the Holocaust and are distinguished by a fertile and probing intellect. The breadth of his scholarly research is uncommon at a time of intense specialization, but Dr. Porter brings to bear in his approach both a broad overview and incisive study of material, some of which makes a singular contribution to the socio-historical material he has been exploring.
The investigation of these topics (genocide and Holocaust) has largely been the work of historians...What is striking is how few sociologists have attempted to investigate these important topics and to apply the specific tools of their profession to these problems...It is the great virtue of this collection that it is written by a leading sociologist and attempts to use sociological techniques to explicate a number of key problems...There is a great deal to be learned from these essays and I very much hope they reach the wide audience they deserve.
Porter provides numerous examples of important research.
Jack Nusan Porter's The Genocidal Mind is a breath of fresh air brought to the plethora of Holocaust-related survey texts [in] the field of genocide studies...Well thought-out and more than solidly grounded in Holocaust sources...Porter then takes primary Holocaust inquiry to new spaces that heretofore have remained under-researched and represent the field's final frontier: the politics of sexual orientation genocide and the sexology of genocidaires.
Porter continues his remarkable original works on "The Genocidal Mind" in his new book.Over the past decades, he has opened doors into sociologically motivated studies of the unique phenomenon of the Jewish Holocaust in Europe. His refusal to follow more straightforward, quantifiable research, and instead look deeply and memorably into human motivations.have enriched our perspectives.
