In Stateless, Chahinian offers a rich exploration of Western
Armenian literary history in the wake of the 1915 genocide that led
to the dispersion of Armenians across Europe, North America, and
beyond. Chahinian highlights two specific time periods-post-WWI
Paris and post-WWII Beirut-to trace the ways in which literature
developed in each diaspora community. In Paris, a literary movement
known as Menk addressed the horrors Armenians experienced and
focused on creating a new literary aesthetic centered on belonging
while in exile. In Beirut, Chahinian shows how the literature was
nationalized in the absence of state institutions. Over time,
Armenian intellectuals constructed a unified and coherent narrative
of the diaspora that returned to the pre-1915 literary tradition
and excluded the Menk generation. Chahinian argues that the
adoption of "national" as the literature's organizing logic
ultimately limited its vitality and longevity as it ignored the
diverse composition of diaspora communities.
