Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, 1913-1923<\/strong>
Edited by George N. Shirinian<\/em>

\u201cThis is a very timely edited volume that will fill a very significant gap in the study of Greek, Assyrian, Armenian, and Turkish history on the one hand, and, on the other, provide an analysis of the collective violence these non-Muslim minorities had been subjected to in the Ottoman Empire and later on\u2026 I heartily recommend this book to scholars interested in the histories of these communities as well as the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic; genocide scholars would also benefit from the novel framework of studying the collective violence against Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians together, from a single comparative vantage point as late Ottoman genocides.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Slavic Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAILY LIFE IN THE ABYSS<\/a>

Vah\u00e9 Tachjian<\/em>
Vol. 25, War and Genocide<\/em><\/a>

\u201cVah\u00e9 Tachjian has written a thoughtful, nuanced, and powerful study of survival centring on the lives of two Armenian diarists from the period: the priest Der Nerses Tavukjian and Krikor Bogharian, both from Aintab (present-day Gaziantep). Their diaries are by no means unique among the plethora of materials contemporary Armenian survivors have written, but they are particularly devastating in their emotional honesty as the authors experienced and survived genocide.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 War in History<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plunder of Wealth in the Armenian Genocide<\/strong>
Taner Ak\u00e7am and Umit Kurt<\/em>

Vol. 21, War and Genocide<\/em><\/a>

\u201cThis book is a valuable addition to filling the gaps of our understanding of genocide and helps readers navigate complex terrain in the case study presented\u2026 I recommend this book as a case study to be included in graduate level courses. In addition to its thorough review of the questionable statecraft of genocidal states, it is a reminder of the merits of engaged scholarship. Ak\u00e7am and Kurt, by sharing their research as an act of solidarity with citizens who continue to challenge state restraints and master narratives based on genocide, make a contribution to the ongoing process of crafting a just society.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Histoire Sociale\/Social History<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
