Seven decades after the destruction of the Armenian population
in the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian genocide remains largely
ignored by governments and forgotten by the world public, even
though the annihilation of Armenians was headlined around the world
in 1915. Scholarly investigation of the Armenian genocide is just
beginning, made more difficult by the tendency of many
establishment figures to rationalize the past and the attempt of
perpetrator governments and their successors to deny the past.
This volume is a pioneering collective attempt to assess and
analyze the Armenian genocide from differing perspectives,
including history, political science, ethics, religion, literature,
and psychiatry. Focusing on the general implications of denial,
rationalization, and responsibility, it is particularly important
as a precursor to the study of the Holocaust and other
genocides.
