Remnants of Heroes: The Assyrian Experience

by Sargon Donabed

This book charts the life, dispersion and arrival to New England, of a small but extremely important segment of the Assyrian People: The Assyrians of the town of Kharput, in modern-day Turkey. How these Syriac-speaking people escaped the Assyrian/Armenian/Greek Genocide of WWI, integrated into American society, and yet managed to retain their identity is central to understanding their plight and perseverance. 

Remnants of Heroes: The Assyrian Experience is a scholarly work focusing on the continuity of Assyrian culture, identity, and heritage from the region of Kharput to the diaspora in New England. The book explores the endurance of this ancient, marginalized community through history
