Many of us realize that writing books is a very labor-intensive project, and I want to begin by thanking all of my students here at the University of Utah who have taken my Documenting Genocide classes. For years they have had to hear lectures about the Boer camps, see films on colonial warfare, read about Raphael Lemkin’s views on imperialism, and debate whether particular acts of colonial warfare deserved to be labeled “genocide.” Their love of learning, enthusiasm, and skepticism helped shape many of my own arguments as well as the contours of the book. The dean of the College of Humanities, Dean Robert Newman, has always provided members of the Communication Department with unwavering support when we work on our labors of love, and I must continually thank my friend and colleague, Kent Ono, for all he has done over the past couple years to create a book culture within our department. I must also thank one of my graduate research assistants, José Angel Maldonado, for the help he provided when I edited this book, as well as the time he spent tracking down sources. Another graduate student, Mariam Betlemidze, is quickly learning about a few influential European camp cultures, and I want to thank her for the conversations that we have had about the “museums” of camp research. A dear friend, Lisa London, seemed to have a knack for asking me just the right questions about what I was working on at just the right time. Her unconditional support, from many miles away, helped me finish this project.
