Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Collective Trauma and the Armenian Genocide: Armenian Turkish and Azerbaijani Relations since 1839 by Pamela Steiner
This book re-examines more than 100 years of destructive ethno-religious relations among Armenians Turks and Azerbaijanis through the novel lens of collective trauma. The author argues that a focus on embedded transgenerational collective trauma is essential to achieving more trusting productive and stable relationships in this and similar contexts. The book takes a deep dive into history - analysing the traumatic events examining and positing how they motivated the actions of key players (both victims and perpetrators) and revealing how profoundly these traumas continue to manifest today among the three peoples stymying healing and inhibiting achievement of a basis for positive change.
