From Empire to Republic : Turkish Nationalism and the Armenian Genocide, Paperback / softback Book

From Empire to Republic : Turkish Nationalism and the Armenian Genocide Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Taner Akçam is one of the first Turkish academics to acknowledge and discuss openly the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman-Turkish government in 1915.

This book discusses western political policies towards the region generally, and represents the first serious scholarly attempt to understand the Genocide from a perpetrator rather than victim perspective, and to contextualize those events within Turkey's political history.

By refusing to acknowledge the fact of genocide, successive Turkish governments not only perpetuate massive historical injustice, but also pose a fundamental obstacle to Turkey's democratization today.
