Elusive Equality: The Armenian Genocide and the Failure of Ottoman Legal Reform

Mark L. Movsesian · 2010

Catalogue summary

A comparative law-and-religion approach connects nineteenth-century changes in Ottoman Christians' legal status to the Hamidian massacres and ultimately the 1915 Armenian Genocide, locating mass violence within failed reform and intercommunal state relations.

Why this matters

The legal frame helps explain how altered rights and religious governance shaped the prehistory of genocide against Ottoman Armenians.
