This book was less about the history of genocide and more about how dehumanization works.

thought provoking and full of incredible insights. At times hard to read because of the descriptions of examples of dehumanization.

I wish I had read this in like May when I was reading the other books in this category, instead of November, when I found the audiobook. But what can you do? It was pretty good

Read for research purposes. Includes some very interesting primary sources on the topic e.g. from the Nuremburg Trials and Vietnam War veterans.

This book was highly disappointing. This book is from an incredibly privileged perspective that uses philosophical jargon to hit everywhere except the target. This was basically a review of my required freshman classes with the valuable key points being able to fit on just one page. The end of the book poses the solution to look at this problem of dehumanization scientifically. The author completely ignores the issues of power and privilege as being the backbone of dehumanization. I could go on...basically I hated it.

This had to be one of the most depressing (albeit interesting) subjects for him to study. Too many times I had to take a break from reading due to the graphic depictions of dehumanization. It’s all very discouraging, but I’m grateful this book exists. It’s very eye-opening.
