Joachim J. Savelsberg is Professor of Sociology and Law and Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Chair at the University of Minnesota. He is the coauthor of American Memories: Atrocities and the Law and author of Crime and Human Rights: Criminology of Genocide and Atrocities.
Focusing on the case of Darfur, Savelsberg analyzes more than 3,000 news reports and opinion pieces and interviews leading newspaper correspondents, NGO experts, and foreign ministry officials from eight countries to show the dramatic differences in the framing of mass violence around the world and across social fields. He considers such questions as: How do interventions by the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court influence representations of mass violence? What images arise instead from the humanitarianism and diplomacy fields? How are these competing perspectives communicated to the public via mass media? * Law & Social Inquiry * A very thoughtfully conceptualised and written work... a high level of theoretical and empirical craft. * Corvinus Journal of Sociology and Social Policy * A well-written and thoroughly researched project . . . Savelsberg's book makes a significant contribution to criminology, global sociology, and the study of collective memory. . . . compelling and interesting. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
