Shirinian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Survival of a Perverse Nation, Tamar R. Shirinian traces two widespread rhetorics of perversion—sexual and moral—in postsocialist Armenia, showing how they are tied to anxieties about the nation’s survival. In her fieldwork with Armenians, Shirinian found that right-wing nationalists’ focus on sexual perversion centers the figure of the homosexual, while questions of moral perversion surround oligarchs and other members of the political-economic elite. While the homosexual is seen as non- or improperly reproductive, the oligarch’s moral deviations from the caring and paternalistic expectations associated with national leadership also endanger Armenia’s survival. Shirinian shows how both figures threaten the nation’s proper social reproduction, a source of great anxiety for a nation whose primary point of identity is surviving genocide. In the existential threat posed by these forms of perversion Shirinian finds paths where nonsurvival might mean the creation of futures that are queerer and more just. Detailing how the language of perversion offers trenchant critiques of capitalism as a perversion of life, Shirinian presents a new queer theory of political economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Duke University Press, \u003cspan\u003eNovember 15, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51248780673311,"sku":"2025092201","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/2240\/files\/SurvivalofaPerverseNation.jpg?v=1758573447"},{"product_id":"small-pieces","title":"small pieces","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Micheline Aharonian Marcom and Fowzia Karimi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003esmall pieces\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a collaboration between novelist Micheline Aharonian Marcom and writer and visual artist Fowzia Karimi, pairing Marcom’s short stories (or “miniatures” as Marcom calls them) with watercolors done by Karimi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicheline Aharonian Marcom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the author of seven novels, including a trilogy of books about the Armenian genocide and its aftermath in the 20th century.

Mikoyan had been a loyal Stalinist, but his background as a native Armenian guided his Thaw-era reform initiatives on nationality policy and de-Stalinization. The statesman advocated a dynamic approach to governance, rejecting national nihilism and embracing a multitude of ethnicities under the aegis of \"socialist democracy,\" using Armenia as his exemplar. While the Soviet government adopted most of Mikoyan's recommendations, Khrushchev's ouster in 1964 ended the prospects for political change and led to Mikoyan's own resignation the following year.

First, the book contains a collection of fourteen chapters that capture the personal, professional, and historical experiences of international global scholars and artists to which they were subjected in their native country and after they immigrated to the United States. What makes this book project highly unusual in comparison to other publications is that these international global scholars and artists experienced historical events of trauma and joy in their native country and in their newly adopted country of the United States that lie deeply buried in their sub-consciousness; that these memories are unforgettable and still painful for them; that these memories are a constant companion in their daily lives; and that the experienced historical events of trauma and joy have shaped their professional and personal lives to this very day. There exists a paucity in the global education literature of this far-reaching topic and, thus, it has the potential to enhance and diversify the global education literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the significance of this book lies in the pedagogical power of the oral history narrative tradition and its impact on students at the secondary and tertiary levels in education. When one’s lived experiences of trauma or joy occur during a critical time in history, they rarely yield unforgotten memories and deeply held private knowledge that do not come to light without a storyteller. When first-hand accounts are shared publicly, they can bring powerful insights into past historic events to the very presence. Thus, the pedagogical strength of this book contributes to knowledge creation in the classroom as oral histories move students from abstract textbook descriptions to concrete and compelling “lived” stories associated with historical happenings. This pedagogy leads students to become more critical of historical events of the past and develops in them a deeper understanding of the past. Consequently, oral history narratives enable teachers and teacher educators to enrich the abstract text of textbooks with the authentic voice of the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA third significance of this book lies embedded in the rich historical perspective displayed by storytellers of non-native international global scholars and artists from around the world who portray their lived-through, first-hand experiences such as child labor, communism, hate, hunger, fascism, fear, intolerance, discrimination, prejudice, poverty, war, protest, and death. Finally, a major purpose of this book is to expose young learners from around the world to empowering non-native international role models in global education and the arts from nations in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eurasia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America who build bridges—not walls—between peoples and nations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51335699202335,"sku":null,"price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/2240\/files\/PowerofOralHistoryNarratives_theCover.jpg?v=1764710491"},{"product_id":"smart-nation-a-blueprint-for-modern-armenia-second-edition","title":"Smart Nation: A Blueprint for Modern Armenia -Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Sassoon Grigorian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSmart Nation: A Blueprint for Modern Armenia – Second Edition \u003c\/span\u003eis a timely exploration of Armenia’s future at a critical crossroads.

During this time to its south in Mesopotamia the first state-level societies arose with evidence of kings with authority and their bureaucracies, writing as an auditing technique, social stratification evidenced in graves and buildings, mass production of goods, and the earliest formal system of trade (the Uruk expansion). That system brought the raw materials and goods like metals, lumber, semi-precious and chipping stone from the surrounding mountains and highlands. North of the Caucasus mountains in Eurasia pastoral nomadic societies were beginning to be replaced by settled populations with domesticated horse and advance metallurgical technologies. Between the northern steppe and the southern alluvial plains lay the mountains of the lesser Caucasus.

Aghuania (also Aghuank, Arran, Aghbania, Caucasian Albania) comprised parts of modern Dagestan and Azerbaijan, Armenia’s eastern neighbor. Its ancient peoples and their numerous languages were noted occasionally by classical Greek and Latin authors. Like the neighboring Armenians, the Aghuans were part of the Iranian-Zoroastrian culture-world for at least a millennium. Their royalty and nobility had marriage ties with their counterparts in Iran and Armenia.

She ran head-on into the Turkish revolution, under siege at the Battle of Marash as she led thousands of Armenians across mountains in a blizzard. She continued her work in Ismid, Turkey, where once again Turks overran her hospital. In Armenia's interior, she led the medical care of 40,000 Armenian orphans, thousands suffering from the blinding disease, trachoma. Duty called her to the Burning of Smyrna, where she set up hospitals across Greece to care for Greek and Armenian refugees fleeing the Turks. After a brief stint teaching, she was called to duty in Japan, following a devastating earthquake. There she served in Tokyo as a medical missionary, transforming pediatric care and saving thousands of children through nutrition, well-baby clinics, and other preventative measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing family archives never before examined, professional correspondence, and news accounts, G.L. Pedersen chronicles Elliott's story of bravery, perseverance, and humanitarianism. She highlights Elliott's challenges in navigating the politics of relief work, where her quiet, engaging leadership threatened those in power. Betrayed by leaders who tried to silence her, Elliott told the story of her harrowing experiences across the United States in 1924 with her memoir, Beginning Again at Ararat. Through detective work in publisher archives, Pedersen reveals a remarkable collaboration on her memoir that remained hidden for a century. Extensive research using letters, cablegrams, and diaries brings this overlooked woman's thrilling story to life. Dr. Mabel Elliott accomplished what few women physicians have in the field of humanitarian service.

The book, titled Phrasing the Arts, is a collection of poems mostly on the arts in all their forms. It is vol. 23 in the Armenian Series published by the Armenian Studies Program through The Press at California State University, Fresno (2025, printed in January 2026). In the author’s own words, he wrote these poems as an escape from strenuous scholarship, to express his profound  love for the arts. “Overall, the present collection, a commentary of sorts on the intersection of literary art and other arts, is but a verbal rumination on experiences in time and place, including some memorable places no longer confined to their geography.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven before publication, the book was highly praised for its literary merit. Timothy Skeen, Professor Emeritus of English at Fresno State and author of several poetry books, has this to say: “In Phrasing the Arts, the scholar Abraham Terian appeals to prosody ‘in the contemplation of truth’ to create a world of sublime beauty,” and concludes: “Terian’s poems demonstrate mastery of craft and form: line, stanza, image, repetition and metaphor; they remind the reader that the true subject of poetry is poetry itself.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonora H.

It delves into the contrasting foreign policies of small states in the Caucasus in response to the Russian interventions in Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, which marked Russia's \"return\" as an order-forming power, challenging the agenda of Euro-Atlantic integration. The author expands and adapts Constellation Theory to examine emerging non-Western regional orders, using a relational polarity framework to argue that the choices of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are not merely products of Russian or Western influence but are shaped by each state's unique geocultural propensities, distinct asymmetric relationships with divergent power poles and differing perceptions of reality. Together, these factors define their geopolitical heterogeneity and inform their unique strategic temperaments in navigating foreign affairs. This book enriches the emerging discourse on the regional complexities of the multipolar world order with multifaceted interpretations of politics and decision-making through its nuanced regional focus and innovative theoretical grounding. It contributes significantly to International Relations theory, geopolitics, small-states and area studies, offering invaluable insights into small-state foreign policy dynamics in the age of rising confrontational multipolarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEduard Abrahamyan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Security Analysis (Armenia) and Postgraduate Teaching Fellow at University College London (UK).
