New book by IAGS scholar: The Armenian Genocide in Literature, The Second Generation Responds
CONGRATULATIONS to IAGS member, Dr Rubina Peroomian of California for a new title:
The Armenian Genocide in Literature, The Second Generation Responds
Published by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, Yerevan, Armenia.
This volume, the fourth in Rubina’s continuing study and analysis of Diasporan Armenian literature, shows that the children of survivors were affected by their parents’ traumatic experience, and this is regardless of how they or their parents perceived and dealt with that trauma.
The psychological effects were impressed upon the family atmosphere and relationships.
The shadow of the Genocide has surfaced in the works of second-generation Armenian writers to reflect a variety of reactions conditioned by perception of the past.
The book examines a broad spectrum of responses.
Dr Permoonian asks: ‘Are healing and reconciliation possible? Even after one hundred years, the process is yet to begin. Second-generation Armenian artistic expressions echo the struggle to cast off the shadow of the past and challenge the present denialist stance of the perpetrators and indifferent bystanders.’
The book is available at Amazon
Special offer for IAGS members
Rubina Peroomian — who has been a member since 1999 — is offering IAGS scholars the book at half the normal price.
