8: Displacing Orientalism: Ottoman Jihad, German Imperialism, and the Armenian Genocide

Rachel MagShamhráin · 2009

Catalogue summary

German-Ottoman discourse from the 1890s through World War I is reframed as multidirectional Orientalism tied to jihad, imperial rivalry, ethnic homogenization, and the Armenian Genocide.

Why this matters

The analysis places the destruction of Armenians within reciprocal German-Turkish political agendas rather than a simple model of Western domination over a passive East.
