A defining and tragic feature of recent history, as seen in the Holocaust, ethnic cleansing, civil wars and the systematic persecution of certain racial and ethnic groups, is the attempt to deny and strip human beings of their humanity, where human beings are regarded and treated as inhuman or subhuman. Yet the very nature of dehumanization remains relatively poorly understood. The Routledge Handbook of Dehumanization is the first comprehensive reference source on the subject and an outstanding survey of the key concepts, issues and debates within dehumanization. Essential reading for students and researchers in ethics, political philosophy and moral psychology this Handbook will also be of interest to those in related disciplines such as politics, international relations, social psychology and race and ethnic studies, as well as anyone studying the nature of genocide and crimes against humanity.
