Download or read book The Armenians written by Razmik Panossian and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-27 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Armenians traces the evolution of Armenia and Armenian collective identity from its beginnings to the Armenian nationalist movement over Gharabagh in 1988. Applying theories of national-identity formation and nationalism, Razmik Panossian analyzes different elements of Armenian identity construction and argues that national identity is modern, predominantly subjective, and based on a political sense of belonging. Yet he also acknowledges the crucial role of history, art, literature, religious practice, and commerce in preserving the national memory and shaping the cultural identity of the Armenian people. Panossian explores a series of landmark events, among them Armenians' first attempts at liberation, the Armenian renaissance of the nineteenth century, the 1915 genocide of the Ottoman Armenians, and Soviet occupation. He shows how these influences led to a "multilocal" evolution of Armenian identity in various places in and outside of Armenia, notably in diasporan communities from India to Venice. Today, these numerous identities contribute to deep divisions and tensions within the Armenian nation, the most profound of which is the cultural divide between Armenians residing in their homeland and those who live in the United States, Canada, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Considering the diversity of this single nation, Panossian questions the theoretical assumption that nationalism must be homogenizing. Based on extensive research conducted in Armenia and the diaspora, including interviews and translation of Armenian-language sources, The Armenians is an engaging history and an invaluable comparative study.

Download or read book From the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean written by Sebouh David Aslanian and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a rich trove of documents, including correspondence not seen for 300 years, this study explores the emergence and growth of a remarkable global trade network operated by Armenian silk merchants from a small outpost in the Persian Empire. Based in New Julfa, Isfahan, in what is now Iran, these merchants operated a network of commercial settlements that stretched from London and Amsterdam to Manila and Acapulco. The New Julfan Armenians were the only Eurasian community that was able to operate simultaneously and successfully in all the major empires of the early modern world—both land-based Asian empires and the emerging sea-borne empires—astonishingly without the benefits of an imperial network and state that accompanied and facilitated European mercantile expansion during the same period. This book brings to light for the first time the trans-imperial cosmopolitan world of the New Julfans. Among other topics, it explores the effects of long distance trade on the organization of community life, the ethos of trust and cooperation that existed among merchants, and the importance of information networks and communication in the operation of early modern mercantile communities.
Download or read book Passage to Ararat written by Michael J. Arlen and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Passage to Ararat, which received the National Book Award in 1976, Michael J. Arlen goes beyond the portrait of his father, the famous Anglo-Armenian novelist of the 1920s, that he created in Exiles to try to discover what his father had tried to forget: Armenia and what it meant to be an Armenian, a descendant of a proud people whom conquerors had for centuries tried to exterminate. But perhaps most affectingly, Arlen tells a story as large as a whole people yet as personal as the uneasy bond between a father and a son, offering a masterful account of the affirmation and pain of kinship.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1846 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. Antiquity of the Name of Ararat.--Its supposed Origin.--Other Names, Massis, Agridagh.--Its Situation.--Great and Little Ararat.--Their Elevation.--Neighbouring Mountains.--Sublimity of Ararat not to be delineated.--Various Prints and Drawings of Ararat.--Mode of making exact Delineations.--Their Value.--The Author's Sketches of the Mountain described.--First Excursion up Ararat.--Illusion as to the Steepness of Mountains.--The Holy Well.--Its miraculous Virtues.--First Ascent of Ararat.--Great Height attained.--Fall in Descending.--Legend of St. James.--Attempt of the Pasha of Bayazed to ascend Ararat.--Its supposed Inaccessibility.--Not proved by Toumefort. Ararat has borne this name for three thousand years. We read in the most ancient of all books, in the account of the creation left us by Moses, that " the ark rested, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat." In other passages of the Old Testament, written centuries afterward--in Isaiah, xxxvii., 38, and 2 Kings, xix., 37, mention is made of a land, in Jeremiah, li., 27, of a kingdom, of Ararat; and we are likewise informed by Moses of Chorene, the first authority among Armenian writers, that an entire country bore this name, after an ancient Armenian king, Arai, the Fair, who lived 1750 years before Christ. He fell in a bloody battle with the Babylonians, on a plain in Armenia, called after him Arai-Arat, the Fall of Arai. Before this event, the country bore the name of Amasia, from its sovereign Amassis, the sixth in descent from Japhet, who gave the name of Massis to the mountain. This is still the only name by which it is known to the Armenians; for, although it is called Ararat in the Armenian edition of the Old...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first major study of the mass sequestration of Armenian property by the Young Turk regime during the 1915 Armenian genocide. It details the emergence of Turkish economic nationalism, offers insight into the economic ramifications of the genocidal process, and describes how the plunder was organized on the ground. The interrelated nature of property confiscation initiated by the Young Turk regime and its cooperating local elites offers new insights into the functions and beneficiaries of state-sanctioned robbery. Drawing on secret files and unexamined records, the authors demonstrate that while Armenians suffered systematic plunder and destruction, ordinary Turks were assigned a range of property for their progress.
