Select a particular genocide/genocidal massacre/genocidal act and to provide an examination of that case.

This topic asks you to focus on a specific case of genocide. Working from a particular definition of genocide, your task is to select a particular genocide/genocidal massacre/genocidal act and to provide an examination of that case. (You may not write an essay based on the same topic on which you make your oral presentation during the term.) The paper, however, must not be purely descriptive. Your analysis should include a brief history of the development of the situation which led to the acts of genocide, along with attempting to define the type of genocide which took place, based upon the definitions and reasoning provided in the course readings and elsewhere, and a look at the social-cultural and other factors which were present.
