Diaspora Identity and a New Generation: Armenian Diaspora Youth on the Genocide and the Karabakh War
Dmitry Chernobrov and Leila Wilmers · 2019
Catalogue summary
Based on interviews with young Armenians in France, Britain, and Russia, the study examines how memories of the 1915 genocide and the Karabakh conflict shape diasporic identity after Armenian independence. It emphasizes the roles of digital communication, travel, and intergenerational transmission in participants’ efforts to relate inherited trauma to contemporary homeland politics.
Why this matters
It gives a comparative account of a post-1991 diaspora generation whose relationship to genocide memory and Artsakh is mediated by new mobility and communication, rather than inherited institutions alone.
