What is being done to Armenian monuments in Artsakh now is not new and it is not vandalism. Seda Parsamyan traces the demolition policy of the Hamidian massacres of the 1890s and puts the legal question directly: when a state sets out to erase a people's churches, at what point does that become cultural genocide? She works through how the concept has been defined, redefined and quietly narrowed by people who would rather it did not apply. The frame she builds is the one now being reached for over Artsakh.

Mass Destruction of Armenian Cultural Heritage during the Hamidian Massacres (1894-1896)

Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905–1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland

Berberian, Houri, 2001
Westview Press (2001); Routledge edition; 244 pp.; ISBN 9780813338170

The fullest treatment of Armenian politicization and participation in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution, in which the ARF was the decisive Armenian actor. Berberian first traces the nineteenth-century situation of Armenians, with emphasis on the Ottoman provinces and on the Russian Caucasus as the source of the nationalist-socialist revolutionary movement. She then examines the ideological, political and pragmatic motives that drew Armenians into the Iranian revolution, and the collaboration between Armenian and Iranian constitutionalists, including the military contributions Armenians made. The study also opens up, for the first time, the roles and activism of Iranian Armenian women.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
