Nalbantian, Tsolin| Call Number | 305.891992095692 |
| Author | Nalbantian, Tsolin, author. |
| Title | Armenians beyond diaspora : making Lebanon their own / Tsolin Nalbantian. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (ix, 225 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Alternative histories : narratives from the Middle East and Mediterranean |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 12 Nov 2020). |
| Summary | This book argues that Armenians around the world - in the face of the Genocide, and despite the absence of an independent nation-state after World War I - developed dynamic socio-political, cultural, ideological and ecclesiastical centres. And it focuses on one such centre, Beirut, in the postcolonial 1940s and 1950s. Tsolin Nalbantian explores Armenians’ discursive re-positioning within the newly independent Lebanese nation-state; the political-cultural impact (in Lebanon as well as Syria) of the 1946-8 repatriation initiative to Soviet Armenia; the 1956 Catholicos election; and the 1957 Lebanese elections and 1958 mini-civil war. What emerges is a post-Genocide Armenian history of - principally - power, renewal and presence, rather than one of loss and absence. |
