Review of Henry R. Shapiro, The Rise of the Western Armenian Diaspora in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire: From Refugee Crisis to Renaissance

Ohanian, Daniel, 2024
Journal of Early Modern History, Vol. 28, No. 1-2, pp. 184–186 (Brill); DOI 10.1163/15700658-12342746

A review essay in Brill's Journal of Early Modern History assessing Henry R. Shapiro's monograph on the formation of the Western Armenian diaspora in the early modern Ottoman Empire, a subject that sits squarely in Ohanian's own dissertation field of Armenian refugee movement, community formation and cultural renaissance in the seventeenth-century Ottoman world.

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.
