BELMONT, Mass. - Historian Ugur Umit Ungor will give a lecture titled
"Race and Space: The Armenian Genocide in the Context of Population
and Territory," on Thursday, April 26, at 8 p.m., at the National
Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) Center, 395
Concord Ave.
The eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire used to be a multi-ethnic
region where Armenians, Kurds, Syriacs, Turks and Arabs lived together
in the same villages and cities. From 1913 to 1950, successive
Turkish regimes subjected this region to a thorough policy of ethnic
homogenization.
Based on a decade of research on a range of unexamined records, Ungor
demonstrates that the Armenian Genocide was part and parcel of this
wider process. He will offer insights into the economic ramifications
of the genocide and describe how the plunder was organized on the
ground. He will conclude that this violent process not only destroyed
historical regions and emptied multicultural cities, but also cleared
the way for the modern Turkish nation state.
Ungor is assistant professor at the Department of History of
Utrecht University and the Institute for War and Genocide Studies
in Amsterdam. He specializes in genocide, mass violence and ethnic
conflict. His recent publications include Confiscation and Destruction:
The Young Turk Seizure of Armenian Property (Continuum, 2011) and
The Making of Modern Turkey: Nation and State in Eastern Anatolia,
1913-1950 (Oxford University Press, 2011).
The Making of Modern Turkey, newly published in paperback, will be
available for purchase and signing the night of the lecture.
