Aid to Armenia: Humanitarianism: Key Debates and New Approaches


en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2020
Interventions on behalf of Armenia and Armenians have come to be identified by scholars and practitioners alike as defining moments in the history of humanitarianism. This volume reassesses these claims, critically examining a range of interventions by governments, international and diasporic organisations, and individuals that aimed to 'save Armenians'. Drawing on perspectives from a range of disciplines, the chapters trace the evolution of these interventions from the late-nineteenth century to the present day, paying particular attention to the aftermaths of the Genocide and the upheavals of the post-Soviet period. Geographically, the contributions connect diverse spaces and places - the Caucasus, Russia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, South America and Australia - revealing shifting transnational networks of aid and intervention. These chapters are followed by reflections from leading scholars in the fields of refugee history and Armenian history, Peter Gatrell and Ronald Grigor Suny. Aid to Armenia not only offers an innovative exploration into the history of Armenia and Armenians and the history of humanitarianism, but it provides a platform for practitioners to think critically about contemporary humanitarian questions facing Armenia, the South Caucasus region and the wider Armenian diaspora.

Descriere

This book critically examines the history of humanitarianism and intervention on behalf of Armenia and Armenians from the late nineteenth century to the post-Soviet era. Examining a diverse set of case studies, the contributors show how the case of Armenia informs histories of humanitarianism and, in turn, how the history of humanitarianism illuminates the history of Armenia. -- .
