Recovering Armenia
Lerna Ekmekçioğlu · 2020
Catalogue summary
This book reconstructs how Armenians who remained in the Turkish Republic after 1915 negotiated communal survival during the postwar and early republican transition. Drawing on Armenian-language materials from Istanbul, it focuses on public figures including Hayganush Mark and analyzes the tension between women’s feminist leadership and gendered expectations that made the household a principal site of cultural continuity.
Why this matters
It brings post-genocide Armenian life in Turkey into view through community-produced sources and shows why gender must be central to histories of minority survival, identity, and institutional reconstruction.
