| Summary: | In this fascinating and highly unusual volume, Harutyun Marutyan, an anthropologist at the Armenian Academy of Sciences, traces the changes in Armenian identity over the three-year period of the Karabagh Movement (1988–1990). During that brief period, collective identity in the country evolved from that of a victim nation to that of a people who assert their rights to independence, governmental accountability, and security. The path to this transformation of national identity, the author argues, led through remembrance of the Armenian Genocide., A short section on Karabagh would have been helpful to the reader. |
