In the second of a three-volume work, Seta B. Dadoyan explores the
Armenian condition from the 970s to the end of the fourteenth
century. This period marked the gradual loss of semi-autonomy on
the traditional mainland and the rise of Armenian power of
diverging patterns in southeastern Asia Minor, north Syria,
Cilicia, and Egypt. Dadoyan's premise is that if Armenians and
Armenia have always been located in the Middle East and the Islamic
world, then their history is also a natural part of that region and
its peoples. She observes that the Armenian experience has been too
complicated to be defined by simplistic constructs centered on the
idea of a heroic, yet victimized nation. She notes that a certain
politics of historical writing, supported by a culture of
authority, has focused sharply on episodes and, in particular, on
the genocide.
For her sources, Dadoyan has used all available and relevant
(primary and secondary) Armenian sources, as well as primary Arab
texts and sources. This book will stimulate re-evaluation of the
period, and re-conceptualizing Armenian and Middle Eastern
histories.
