In Stateless, Talar Chahinian offers a rich exploration of Western Armenian literary history in the wake of the 1915 genocide that led to the dispersion of Armenians across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and beyond. Chahinian highlights two specific time periods—post WW I Paris and Post WW II Beirut—to trace the ways in which literature developed in each diaspora.
This panel is based on the latest special issue of Genocide Studies International, “Nagorno-Karabakh and the Lachin Corridor Crisis,” and features contributors to that issue.
You are invited to a special in-person event to mark a major new addition to the USC Libraries Holocaust & Genocide Studies Collection. The Vahakn Dadrian Armenian Genocide Book Collection is made possible by the Ararat Eskijian Museum and Research Center.
Join us for an evening with Garo Paylan, a leading opposition voice and a human rights defender in Turkey, as he addresses the recent blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the military attack by Azerbaijan, and resulting ethnic cleansing of the entirety of Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, ongoing acts of genocide, and potential steps moving forward.
