KRAJIANS OF AINTAB

by Shushan Yeni-Komshian Teager

Teager, born in Beirut, Lebanon, and a longtime resident of Belmont, has researched, written, and published a book chronicling her family history. According to NAASR Director of Academic Affairs Marc A. Mamigonian, she “has paid an affectionate tribute to her ancestors and done an admirable work of historiography. Readers will encounter information and anecdotes touching on many fascinating and under-examined aspects of late Ottoman commercial, social, and political life. It is a wonderful instance of a family history opening up windows into the larger history through which the family lived.”
