Over the last decade, David Livingstone Smith has committed himself to develop a psychological theory of dehumanization. Unlike earlier theories of dehumanization which sought to document the historical events and describe the sociological conditions that precipitate genocides (Fein 1979, 1990), Smith interrogates the thought processes through which humans dehumanize groups they believe to be outside of, and without, humanity.
