Reviews

... an impressively researched account of one of the major refugee crises of the 20th century ... Migliorino offers a thoughtful account of the Armenian refugees' experience, focusing on religion, cultural production, and communal political organization and covering 1923-2003, a span of three or four generations. This is an analytical narrative of the making of a society, from refugees to citizens... this fine historical account is also an exemplary developmental study of the ways in which refugees create a permanent diaspora society. Relevant to all social scientists. Highly recommended. * Choice
