Portraits of Unbelonginginvestigates the history of Ottoman Armenian emigration from the Ottoman east to the United States from the politically fraught and often violent 1890s to the end of Abdülhamid II's reign in 1909.
A presentation and discussion of I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen, considering its place among the many memoirs that have been published since its first printing, our presenters discussed why they felt it important to bring the book out in a new edition and what it has to offer today.
At a time when there is great concern over the apparent decline of liberal democracy around the world, in 2018 Armenia seemed to be a notable exception and was hailed as “badly needed good news for democracy” by the Washington Post.
