Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Armenians in America It was the lack of a handy book on the subject of the Armenians in America which first induced me to undertake the preparation of this volume. My original intention contemplated a larger edition, containing more extended historical and statistical records. But the sudden cessation of the war and the consequent rise of great national and economic questions, particularly those touching the Armenian people, have made it advisable not to wait any longer. The primary object of this book, as indicated by its title, is to present a sketch of the history, life and activities of the Armenians in the United States. Circumstances, however, have incidentally added a greater importance to it. Those who are competent to judge and speak of the Armenians have described them as "The Anglo-Saxons of the East." They are unanimous in their belief that these people are not only one of the superior races in Southeastern Europe and Asia Minor, but by far the most fit and capable of self-government.

Excerpt: Armenian Americans (Armenian: ) are Americans of Armenian origin. They form the second largest community in the Armenian diaspora after Armenians in Russia. The first major wave of Armenian immigration to the US took place in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as Armenians fled the Hamidian massacres (1894-1896) and Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) that were taking place in the Ottoman Empire. Since the 1950s, Armenians from USSR, Turkey, Iran and Lebanon have migrated to America as a result of instability in those countries, and since the late 1980s, immigrants from Soviet Armenia could be found as well. Since the independence of Armenia from the Soviet Union in 1991 and the following war with neighboring Azerbaijan, additional Armenians fled to the US. The Armenian American community is the most politically influential community of the Armenian diaspora. Organizations such as Armenian National Committee of America and Armenian Assembly of America advocate for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the US government and support stronger Armenia-United States relations. AGBU is known for its financial support and promotion of Armenian cultural and Armenian language schools. The Armenian language (both the Eastern and mainly the Western dialects) is spoken in the US, especially in California, where most recent Armenian...

Download or read book Politics of Armenian Migration to North America 1885 1915 written by David Gutman and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Armenian migration to North America in the late Ottoman period, and Istanbul's efforts to prevent it. It shows how, just as in the present, migrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were forced to travel through clandestine smuggling networks, frustrating the enforcement of the ban on migration. Further, migrants who attempted to return home from sojourns in North America risked debarment at the border and deportation, while the return of migrants who had naturalized as US citizens generated friction between the United States and Ottoman governments. The author sheds light on the relationship between the imperial state and its Armenian populations in the decades leading up to the Armenian genocide. He also places the Ottoman Empire squarely in the middle of global debates on migration, border control and restriction in this period, adding to our understanding of the global historical origins of contemporary immigration politics and other issues of relevance today in the Middle East region, such borders and frontiers, migrants and refugees, and ethno-religious minorities.

Download or read book Torn Between Two Lands written by Robert Mirak and published by Armenian Heritage Press. This book was released on 1987-11-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by persecution and poverty from their ancestral lands, thousands of Armenians fled to the New World before World War 1. But their hearts and minds remained in part on the Old World with their persecuted countrymen in Turkey and their aspirations for a free Armenia. This first comprehensive study of the Armenian American community examines the rich background, the patterns of migration and settlement in the New World, the complex economic and social adjustments, the family life, and the religious and political institutions of the newcomers. The author shows that the experience of the Armenians differed from that of other contemporary immigrant groups from Southern and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean in two critical respects: they were rapidly successful in business and agriculture in the first generation, and they were tormented by their history and politics. Of particular interest is his trenchant, detailed analysis of the Armenian revolutionary parties in the United States: their formation and structure, their fund raising and propaganda activities, and their resort to terrorism. Lucidly written, this study is an important account of the Armenian American community, which is today the largest Armenian community outside Soviet Armenia.
Download or read book A Kaleidoscope of Armenian Immigration to America written by Gary A Kulhanjian and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of Armenian immigrants connects them to the American mainstream. The primary focus of the book is to reveal a kaleidoscope viewing time frames of their experiences in creating a new diaspora worldwide. Another primary motivation is to add further information about them. Drawing parallels between Armenians with other ethnic and racial groups is essential. The history of the Armenians goes back to antiquity when their coexistence for centuries was dominated by cogent empires. By the dawn of the twentieth century, the extirpation of Armenians and other ethnic groups was a policy of the Ottoman Turkish regimes. Those victims, who survived and others from earlier massacres in the 1890s, left their ancestral land. Subsequently, their plight was intertwined with the masses of immigrants from other lands seeking freedom and security. The Armenian experience is a manifestation of history, like other immigrants, which solidified them to the story of American civilization.
Download or read book Armenians of Worcester written by Pamela Apkarian-Russell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, millions of immigrants came to the United States in search of a better life and greater opportunities for their families. However, the Armenians who came to Worcester between 1894 and 1930 were escaping a devastating genocide that tore their country apart. What they found and how they became an integral part of Worcester culture and history is the story found in Armenians of Worcester. Worcester was a mecca for many Armenians, who had escaped with little more than their lives. There were mills that provided work, and there was a growing number of Armenians who were struggling to make sense of what had happened in their homeland. The first Armenian Apostolic church and the first Armenian Protestant church in America were both in this city, and both helped to build new foundations for a community that was to enrich the city and slowly resurrect the art, theater, music, and food that celebrates the Armenian culture. The Armenian picnics that were an integrating influence in the early years continue even today as a gathering of clans and all who join in on these days of celebration.
