- Summary:
-
"Between 1975 and 1978, the Khmer Rouge carried out genocide in Cambodia unparalleled in modern history. Approximately 2 million died - almost one quarter of the population. Taking an explicitly geographical approach, and a starting point that 'geo-graphy' concerns the writing of space, this book suggests that the Khmer Rouge's activities not only led to genocide, but terracide - the erasure of space." "While focusing on Cambodia, the book provides a clearer geographic understanding to genocide in general and insights into the importance of spatial factors in geopolitical conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
