The World and Darfur
International Response to Crimes Against
Humanity in Western Sudan
Edited by Amanda F. Grzyb
With contributions by Major Brent Beardsley, Dr. Gerald Caplan, Dr. Frank Chalk, Dr. Amanda Grzyb, Danielle Kelton, Dr. H. Peter Langille, Dr. Daniel Listoe, Dr. Erick Markusen, Dr Eric Reeves, Dr. Carla Rose Shapiro, and Dr Samuel Totten, and an introduction by Lt.-Gen Roméo Dallaire.
The Republic of Sudan is a nation of some 41.2 million people occupying the largest land area in Africa. To date the crisis in Darfur has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, and millions have been forced into inhumane physical conditions in refugee and IDP camps, which are claiming lives at a rate of up to 10,000 a month. The crisis in Darfur has led to systemic and widespread murder, rape, and abduction, as well as the forced displacement of millions of civilians. It presents a defining moral challenge to the world, and yet almost all of the scholars, activists, and civil society organizations concerned with Sudan agree that the international community has not fulfilled its political and humanitarian obligations in Darfur, failing, once again, to mitigate a preventable, human-wrought disaster.
Bringing together such esteemed writers, thinkers, and political activists as Gerald Caplan, Eric Reeves, Eric Markusen, and Samuel Totten, and with an introduction by Lt.-Gen. Roméo Dallaire, Editor Amanda Grzyb brings together The World and Darfur, delivering a strong, perceptive, cohesive and timely critique of the international response to the crisis in Darfur. The book is an important part of the dialogue and campaign on genocide prevention, providing valuable insights for scholars, human rights activists, and the concerned general public.

The genocide in Darfur is now reaching its 7th year, with hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced, and no end in sight. In The World and Darfur, the 12 contributors repeatedly compare the international response to the failure of intervention efforts of the Rwandan Genocide; the introduction by Roméo Dallaire articulates this viewpoint in simple terms. He asks, “as if murder, rape, systematic massacres, ethnic cleansing, and destruction of way of life are not enough to warrant a determined humanitarian response. What does “Never Again” mean in Darfur?”
The book has been covered in both the National Post and the and the Winnipeg Free Press, and in an effort to raise more awareness about the issue, Amanda Grzyb, Eric Reeves, Samuel Totten are scheduled for a number of radio interviews. Learn more and check them out on air or online in the coming weeks.
