‘You don't compare horrors, you just don't do that’: Examining assumptions and extending the scope of comparative victim beliefs
Johanna Ray Vollhardt; Helin Ünal, and Rashmi Nair · 2022
Catalogue summary
Eight focus groups across four U.S. minority communities, including Armenian Americans, reveal that participants both accepted and resisted comparative victimhood measures while describing shifting ingroup and outgroup power after collective harm.
Why this matters
The qualitative findings complicate standard survey constructs and give diaspora-memory research a comparative account of how Armenian Americans discuss victimization.
