In April 1909, two waves of massacres shook the province of Adana,
located in the southern Anatolia region of modern-day Turkey,
killing more than 20,000 Armenians and 2,000 Muslims. The central
Ottoman government failed to prosecute the main culprits, a
miscarriage of justice that would have repercussions for years to
come. Despite the significance of these events and the extent of
violence and destruction, the Adana Massacres are often left out of
historical narratives. The Horrors of Adana offers one of the first
close examinations of these events, analyzing sociopolitical and
economic transformations that culminated in a cataclysm of
violence. Bedross Der Matossian provides voice and agency to all
involved in the massacres-perpetrators, victims, and bystanders.
Drawing on primary sources in a dozen languages, he develops an
interdisciplinary approach to understand the rumors and emotions,
public spheres and humanitarian interventions that together
informed this complex event. Ultimately, through consideration of
the Adana Massacres in micro-historical detail, this book offers an
important macrocosmic understanding of ethnic violence,
illuminating how and why ordinary people can become perpetrators.
