| Summary: | For more than one hundred years the battle between denial and recognition of the Armenian Genocide has raged, with limited success for the latter. A key problem is the variance in availability of information worldwide and the lack of consensus about that information among audiences “Turkish,” “Armenian,” and “international.” That the most strident promoter of denialism is the Turkish government itself poses a problem. The resulting discrepancy in discourses is staggering. But, as the book under review illustrates, a plethora of information is available, as are alternative narratives, even in Turkey and even in works by Turkish authors. |
