Cultural narrative and the motivation of the terrorist

Khachig Tölölyan · 1987

Catalogue summary

This article examines how cultural narratives can shape political violence in diasporic settings without a sovereign state. Its discussion of Armenian diaspora experience situates terrorism within contested histories, state absence, and regional conflict rather than presenting it as an innate communal trait.

Why this matters

It is useful for critically contextualized study of diaspora politics and violence, with care not to turn scholarly analysis into a generalized claim about Armenians.
