FAITH IN HISTORY: ARMENIANS REBUILDING COMMUNITY

by Susan Paul Pattie

Focusing on Armenians who settled in Cyprus and London during the 20th century, anthropologist Susan Paul Pattie reveals how the mechanisms for creating and maintaining a sense of community and national identity have evolved. Portraying the relation between religion and nationalism in concrete terms, Faith in History also investigates the increasingly common experience of diaspora. This book evokes the ways in which perceptions of nation and homeland shift and evolve.
