Collective Trauma and the Armenian Genocide: Armenian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani Relations since 1839 de Pamela Steiner

Collective Trauma and the Armenian Genocide: Armenian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani Relations since 1839: Human Rights Law in Perspective

Autor Pamela Steiner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2022
In this pathbreaking study, Pamela Steiner deconstructs the psychological obstacles that have prevented peaceful settlements to longstanding issues.The book re-examines more than 100 years of destructive ethno-religious relations among Armenians, Turks, and Azerbaijanis through the novel lens of collective trauma. The author argues that a focus on embedded, transgenerational collective trauma is essential to achieving more trusting, productive, and stable relationships in this and similar contexts. The book takes a deep dive into history - analysing the traumatic events, examining and positing how they motivated the actions of key players (both victims and perpetrators), and revealing how profoundly these traumas continue to manifest today among the three peoples, stymying healing and inhibiting achievement of a basis for positive change. The author then proposes a bold new approach to "conflict resolution" as a complement to other perspectives, such as power-based analyses and international human rights. Addressing the psychological core of the conflict, the author argues that a focus on embedded collective trauma is essential in this and similar arenas.

Recenzii

The author's statement that 'I decided to write this book when I believed I had a fresh and useful perspective to share,' perfectly encapsulates the importance and value of the book you are holding in your hands. Steiner examines, perhaps for the first time, the role collective trauma played among three peoples - Armenians, Azerbaijanis and Turks - and in their mutual relations. She shows how this collective trauma and those that followed are not only the product of their yet unresolved conflicts, but also serve as major stumbling blocks for a better future in the region. For them, the Armenian genocide is like an inescapable psychic maze of trauma, one in which they are trapped and unable to see beyond. If there is indeed a way out of this labyrinth, Steiner's work will serve as a torch, lighting the way.
Pam Steiner has written a pathbreaking study of collective trauma, providing a compelling analysis of a concept that scholars and practitioners often invoke but until now have not fully understood. By using extensive data from the Armenia-Turkey-Azerbaijan case, Dr Steiner demonstrates how crucial it is for effective policy prescription to be based on conflict analysis with deep historical and psychological elements. This book will revolutionize how conflict analysis is done, as it gives both urgency and guidance for why and how a 'walk through history' must be conducted.
Collective trauma displays a compounding character that multiplies the impacts of its many dimensions and confounds the work of post-conflict healing. Pamela Steiner guides her readers through a trauma-informed understanding of what she calls the 'frozen ethno-national conflicts' that haunt modern Armenian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani relations. As the Great Granddaughter of Henry Morgenthau and an experienced facilitator of conflict resolution, Steiner adds personal and professional linkages to the case studies she addresses and the insights she offers regarding the complicating power that collective trauma adds to this complex history and situation.
Pam Steiner offers a fresh and enlightening perspective on otherwise well-known events and conflicts. Collective Trauma and the Armenian Genocide constitutes an important contribution to the understanding of conflicts and the difficulties in resolving them. Steiner has painstakingly researched a wide array of sources and professionally analyzed the role of collective trauma in the apparent intractability of two conflicts, Turkish/Armenian and Armenian/Azeri. Rather than attempting to seek a reconciliation of two seemingly irreconcilable positions in each by trying to find a middle point, Steiner has used the concept of collective trauma to humanize and integrate the problems of both sides. She has done so by manifesting much empathy and genuine concern for the human experience of everyone concerned. Steiner has also provided a most useful list of steps that can be taken to overcome the impact of the traumas that have compromised the judgment of the traumatized groups.
A powerful and deeply moving contribution to the field of conflict resolution. Using her unique collective trauma lens, Steiner, while probing deeply into the traumatic underbelly of the tormented relationship between Armenia and Turkey, provides a powerful framework for understanding and diagnosing the nature of all intractable conflict. In a world becoming increasingly polarized, this compelling book offers a much-needed vision for how human beings might begin to heal the deep, historic wounds that keep so many communities divided and imprisoned.
A deep, insightful exploration of the psychological dimensions of one of the pivotal events in the history of the 20th-century and its relevance to us today.
In this unique, groundbreakingly multidisciplinary, and exceptionally valuable book, Dr Pamela Steiner provides a lucid history of the long, complex, murderously intractable antagonism between Armenians and Turks and Azerbaijanis. More ambitiously, she also integrates recent international research on individual psychology, collective trauma, reconciliation and peace building as foundations for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying dynamics of other intergenerational cycles of atrocity, trauma, humiliation, denial and revenge, which remain so depressingly prominent in global politics. And all of this is combined with vivid, often sobering, illustrations from her own professional experience as a psychologist and psychotherapist with regional peace activists.
A close Arab Israeli friend once told me: 'the Middle East has always devoured its children'. In this thoroughly researched and deeply engaging book, Collective Trauma and the Armenian Genocide, Pam Steiner, an experienced psychotherapist and peace negotiator, illustrates the truth of this statement in her history of Armenian-Turkish-Azerbaijani relationships over the past 180 years. Tragically, it shows how not only individuals, but whole ethnic groups derive a deep sense of collective meaning from past injury, and that a quest for justice (or revenge) can sustain, and even nurture, national identities from generation to generation. This book can make a significant contribution to any discussion about how collective historical trauma can be laid to rest, so that communities can re-focus their energies on building a better future for themselves and their children.
[T]his book will be valuable reading even for people not deeply interested in Turkey. It is a great account of the grandeur of the collapse of empire, the frenzied machinations to hold on to power and assets, the pernicious interplay between aspirations in peace and aggression in war, and the persistence of the trauma narrative.
