"Armenian Genocide and Provincial Histories: Dispossession and Migration in the late-Ottoman Empire" - CHGS Presentation

Wed, Apr 27, 2022 | 12 - 1:30 pm

While the Armenian genocide is oftentimes associated with the events of 1915 and its aftermath, the pre-years of genocide and shifting local practices have been less discussed. Although scholars explored 1894-1896 Hamidian Massacres and the Adana Massacre of 1909 to exemplify the empire-wide hostile policies toward Armenians, we little know about how macro-policies were differently interpreted at the local level and what kind of (agentive) responses it produced. In this panel, we bring two groundbreaking scholars together to understand the interplay between persistent violence and the wide variety of responses the same violence brought. Revisiting the provincial histories of the Ottoman state through local and regional perspectives, David Gutman will highlight the Armenian migration to North America and Umit Kurt will discuss processes of dispossession and economics of genocide.
