Aygün Attar · Babıali Kültür Yayıncılığı, İstanbul, 2018
Collection summary
The Armenian question, framed by the author as "Armenianism", traced along the axis of modernity and capitalism from the 1630s to the present.
Made up of an introduction, five chapters and a conclusion, the book treats the Armenian question within a frame the author calls "Armenianism", read through the concepts of modernity and capitalism. The chapters are titled "Capitalising Armenianism (1630-1750)", "Politicising Armenianism (1750-1890)", "Terrorising Armenianism (1890-1918)", "State-building Armenianism (1918-1990)" and "Globalising Armenianism"; the work draws on Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian archival documents, periodicals and secondary literature, with statistical appendices and maps. The chapters on 1890-1918 and 1918-1990 are the ones that overlap with the period immediately before and after the Caucasus Islamic Army's campaign. The book is a polemical work written from a Turkish-Azerbaijani perspective; the collection places sources offering competing narratives of the same period side by side.
