The Armenian Genocide in the Kurdish Novel: Restructuring Identity through Collective Memory

Adnan Çelik and Ergin Öpengin · 2020

Catalogue summary

Focusing on five novels written in Kurdish, the study traces how authors engage Armenia's 1915 destruction and its aftermath. It connects literary motifs, including pre-genocide coexistence and Islamized Armenians, to debates about memory, responsibility, and accountability.

Why this matters

It supports a nuanced reading of Kurdish literary memory that recognizes acknowledgement while retaining questions of responsibility and selective remembrance.
