Dr. Porter was a pioneer in the study of what is now known as the "sexual/ gender aspects of genocide," first using the term "sexual" in his definition of genocide as far back as the late 1970s in his classic book "Genocide and Human Rights" (ISBN: 0-8191-2290-4) and expanded in his 2006 book "The Genocidal Mind: Sociological and Sexual Perspectives" (ISBN: 978-0-7618-3400-7). The term "sexual politics" has momentous relevance today given the times: gay marriages, DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), "don't tell, don't ask," and the continued harassment and persecution of homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals in our society. What happened in Nazi Germany seventy or more years ago can help us understand what is happening in America today.

It concludes with 100 pages of all his writings from 1958-2014, his speeches, and his vitae, useful for scholars and teachers."

In the aftermath of 9/11, with its attendant rise in global anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, this classic book emerges, helping to explain the marginality of the Jewish people in a new and exciting way: that marginality need not be a negative attribute; that it can be "creative" and that it is through this "creative paranoia" that the Jews have not only survived throughout the centuries, but have imaginatively contributed to the culture and fabric of the societies in which they have dwelt.
