Reviews

This is an excellent study of how minoritized populations like the Armenians who have had genocidal violence in their past negotiate two diasporas, a diaspora in modern Turkey where they become minoritized through state and societal violence on their own ancestral lands, and a diaspora in contemporary Canada where they join a multitude of immigrant populations. * Fatma Müge Göçek, Professor, University of Michigan, USA * This brilliant, beautifully written investigation of the experiences of Armenians moving to Canada is a treasure trove—rich life histories recounting 20th-century Turkish history, and a superlative meditation on the perils and promises of nationalism. A very great achievement, deserving praise and readers. * John A. Hall, Professor, McGill University, Canada *
