Book Synopsis History's Twists by : Helene Pilibosian
Download or read book History's Twists written by Helene Pilibosian and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilibosian's book interlaces the Armenian-American experience with the voices of those in Armenia or the Middle East. These poems are written in a narrative style with a refreshing respect for language as it describes rhyme, addresses contemporary issues peculiar to Armenians, shows a respect for roots. Some of her characters are real and some convenient creations for poetic dialogue. She can be very first person personal: 'I spilled my American hopes of many afternoons on the pavements that wore my life. An Armenian daughter doesn't forget the name that gets her born, the long curls that were shorn.' She can be a resource for history: 'Oral history is a vagrant as a goat ... Orphans were necessary for survival. America and Europe were the pills ... Remembrance is the epitaph/for ghosts of humble glory.' She pays homage to some of the great Armenian artists as in 'Letter to Khachaturian on his 100th Birthday, 2003, to painter Arshile Gorky, Mihran Manoukian, Aivazovsky and others. € She is most effective in her longer poem 'Letter to Nazeli', an exchange of thoughts and feelings between one who stayed in the homeland and one whose physical presence is in America.
Book Synopsis Ararat in America by : Benjamin F. Alexander
Download or read book Ararat in America written by Benjamin F. Alexander and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the distinctive Armenian-American community expressed its identity as an ethnic minority while 'assimilating' to life in the United States? This book examines the role of community leaders and influencers, including clergy, youth organizers, and partisan newspaper editors, in fostering not only a sense of Armenian identity but specific ethnic-partisan leanings within the group's population. Against the backdrop of key geopolitical events from the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide to the creation of an independent and then Soviet Armenia, it explores the rivalry between two major Armenian political parties, the Tashnags and the Ramgavars, and the relationship that existed between partisan leaders and their broader constituency. Rather than treating the partisan conflict as simply an impediment to Armenian unity, Benjamin Alexander examines the functional if accidental role that it played in keeping certain community institutions alive. He further analyses the two camps as representing two conflicting visions of how to be an ethnic group, drawing a comparison between the sociology-of-religion models of comfort religion and challenge religion. A detailed political and social history, this book integrates the Armenian experience into the broader and more familiar narratives of World War I, World War II, and the Cold War in the USA.
Book Synopsis Memory Fragments from the Armenian Genocide by : Margaret DiCanio
Download or read book Memory Fragments from the Armenian Genocide written by Margaret DiCanio and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory Fragments from the Armenian Genocide: A Mosaic of a Shared Heritage brings together thirty profiles of North Americans of Armenian descent. All exemplify the philosophy that “doing well is doing good,” a credo handed down to them by family members who lost everything when they fled from the Turkish massacres. Family stories of how survivors escaped, survived, and made new lives are filtered through the memories of succeeding generations. The profiles reflect how the actions of the survivors shaped the lives of succeeding generations. Armenian immigrants feared their heritage might be lost in North America. Their fears proved to be unfounded. Children and grandchildren retain the culture passed on to them. At the same time, they hold dear the values of the New World that enabled their families to live free of political repression. While details of their daily lives differ, most of those profiled share a reverence for education. In the New World, they flourish as intellectuals, artists, teachers, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, thereby filling leadership roles decimated by Turks early in their campaign to wipe out the Armenians. By making the most of their talents, they do homage to those who sacrificed so much.

Book Synopsis The Lions of Marash by : Stanley Elphinstone Kerr
Download or read book The Lions of Marash written by Stanley Elphinstone Kerr and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1973-01-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lions of Marash is an eye-witness account by an American Near East Relief official of the tragic events which resulted in the annihilation of the Armenian population of Marash, in Central Anatolia, following World War I. On 10 February 1920, the French garrison at Marash withdrew abruptly under cover of darkness, thus abandoning more than twenty thousand Armenians to the Turkish Nationalist forces. The French pullout caused considerable embarrassment in Paris and roused a storm of angry protest in England and the United States, but for the Armenians of Marash, and all of Cilicia, it led to renewed massacre and to final exodus. American philanthropy administered through Near East Relief, successor organization to the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, saved thousands of starving Armenian women and children from Turkish marauders. Workshops and other rehabilitative establishments built by ACRNE and NER slightly mitigated the bitter disappointments arising from the American refusal to ensure the Armenian people a collective future by accepting a protective mandate over the independent Armenian state that had been sanctioned by the Paris Peace Conference. In Cilicia NER worked among the repatriates for four years and, after the total Armenian exodus in 1922, attempted to assist the refugee throngs to resettle in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and other lands of the Middle East. Among the scores of men and women who responded to the ACRNE call for volunteers in 1919 was Stanley E. Kerr, then an officer in the United States Army Sanitary Corps. First serving at Aleppo in a multiplicity of positions, including clinical biochemist, and photographer, Kerr transferred in the autumn of 1919 to Marash, where he took charge of American relief operations after the French withdrawal. In view of the fact that many Turks regarded the Americans as collaborators with the French and Armenians, it was at no small risk that Kerr and his courageous colleagues stayed at their posts to help the thousands of Armenians whom the French had deserted. Indeed, the uncertainties of a hostage-like existence did not end until Kerr departed for Beirut with the last caravan of Armenian orphans in 1922. Now, fifty years after leaving Cilicia, Dr. Kerr presents his account of the happenings of Marash. Although his personal experiences form the basis for narrative, the author has also utilized the studies and memoirs of French officers, and priests, Turkish military historians, and Armenian survivors, particularly prominent Protestant and Catholic spokesmen.

Book Synopsis Planet Tome Reborn by : Helene Pilibosian
Download or read book Planet Tome Reborn written by Helene Pilibosian and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Planet Tome Reborn, Helene Pilibosian continues her sci-fi poetry tale from her previous book, A New Orchid Myth, in which the Everydream family, Amethyst, Granite, and daughter Taralee, come to Earth from the planet Tome to start a new life in New York City. In this sequel, the Everydreams are in Boston, a grown Taralee meets Ted, whom she later marries, and Granite advises people on Tome to prepare to start a business that grinds sunflower seeds into a powder for bread in anticipation of human immigration. The story is told in a highly metaphorical, surreal way, with an obvious love of art often expressed through clever rhymes, as in "After The Dinner Table": Green window-sheenas I perceive red walls.Black-slack for the servant's blouse.The chimes of color evolvein Matisse's Fauve.Flat perspectives drivemy mind's pith and rind. Planet Tome Reborn, along with Candor Candy: Global Poems, have been published posthumously by Ohan Press, bringing her total number of books of poetry to six.

Book Synopsis Armenian-Americans by : Anny P. Bakalian
Download or read book Armenian-Americans written by Anny P. Bakalian and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1993 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the results of an extensive mail questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and participant observation of communal gatherings, this book analyzes the individual and collective struggles of Armenian-Americans to perpetuate their Armenian legacy while actively seeking new pathways to the American Dream. This volume shows how men and women of Armenian descent become distanced from their ethnic origins with the passing of generations. Yet assimilation and maintenance of ethnic identity go hand-in-hand. The ascribed, unconscious, compulsive Armenianness of the immigrant generation is transformed into a voluntary, rational, situational Armenianness. The generational change is from being Armenian to feeling Armenian. The Armenian-American community has grown and prospered in this century
