Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe Are All Armenian\u003c\/em\u003e brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to reflect on the complications of Armenian ethnic identity today. These personal essays elevate diasporic voices that have been historically silenced inside and outside of their communities, including queer, multiracial, and multiethnic writers. The eighteen contributors to this contemporary anthology explore issues of displacement, assimilation, inheritance, and broader definitions of home. Through engaging creative nonfiction, many of them question what it is to be Armenian enough inside an often unacknowledged community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors include: Liana Aghajanian, Naira Kuzmich, Sophia Armen, Kohar Avakian, Nancy Kricorian, Olivia Katrandjian, Chris McCormick, Nancy Agabian, Chris Bohjalian, Aline Ohanesian, Raffi Joe Wartanian, Anna Gazmarian, J.P.

There are rural writers with deep regional knowledge and urban writers who are intimately acquainted with the nature in their neighborhoods. There are female writers, Black writers, gay writers, indigenous writers. There are botanists like William Bartram, George Washington Carver, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, and horticultural writers like Neltje Blanchan and Eleanor Perényi. There are prose pieces by Aldo Leopold, Lydia Davis, and Aimee Nezhukumatathil. And most of all, there are poems: from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, William Carlos Williams and T. S.

The first wave of immigrants came to California in the late 1800s; the second was spurred by the Armenian genocide of 1915. Further Armenian migrants, from Soviet Armenia, the Middle East, Iran, and other countries, continue to find solace, pride, and connection in the traditions, customs, religion, language, and memories they brought with them. Sossi Madzounian, Ara Mgrdichian, and Ara Oshagan, three diaspora-born Armenian artists living in Los Angeles, shared their perspectives on the life of their people in the old world and the new, illuminating the evolving social fabric of Armenian life: survival in the homeland, the immigrant experience in diaspora, and the rebirth of Armenian Americans on new soil. This book pairs their photographs with poems by Los Angeles—based poets Tina Demirdjian, Arminé Iknadossian, Arthur Kayzakian, Shahé Mankerian, and Raffi Joe Wartanian. The volume is a tribute to all these artists, and to Armenians across the globe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sp__the-authors\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGassia Armenian\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator and research associate at the Fowler Museum, where she conducts collections and database research to facilitate curatorial and scholarly efforts and manages various aspects of planning and organizing exhibitions.

All her life Ruzan Garsevanian will wonder what she was reaching for the night the fearcatcher’s husband found her and took her home to his mysterious wife. The fearcatcher is a woman at once at the center of her community and at the very outskirts of it. To men, she is a threat to their traditional Armenian way of living; to women, she is the answer to all of their fears. For the daughter she has adopted, she is the woman Ruzan can never truly know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrained by Ripsimeh in the ways of fearcatching, as she grows, Ruzan yearns for freedom: from the hypocrisy and insularity of her village, and from the hand of destiny her mother swears will eventually take Ruzan in its grasp—for when a fearcatcher dies, a fearcatcher is born. In the capital city of Yerevan, where revolution brews, Ruzan is determined to carve out a life on her own terms.
