In the 1910s historian Harry Harootunian's parents Ohannes and
Vehanush escaped the mass slaughter of the Armenian genocide,
making their way to France, where they first met, before settling
in suburban Detroit. Although his parents rarely spoke of their
families and the horrors they survived, the genocide and their
parents' silence about it was a permanent backdrop to the
Harootunian children's upbringing. In The Unspoken as Heritage
Harootunian-for the first time in his distinguished career-turns to
his personal life and family heritage to explore the genocide's
multigenerational afterlives that remain at the heart of the
Armenian diaspora. Drawing on novels, anecdotes, and reports,
Harootunian presents a composite sketch of the everyday life of his
parents, from their childhood in East Anatolia to the difficulty of
making new lives in the United States. A meditation on loss,
inheritance, and survival-in which Harootunian attempts to come to
terms with a history that is just beyond his reach-The Unspoken as
Heritage demonstrates how the genocidal past never leaves the
present, even in its silence.
