They came from everywhere, mostly as immigrant orphans who lived
through the modern world's first ghastly genocide, convinced they
were the very few left who must save their heritage. "Mitchnapert"
tells how Armenian churches, schools and organizations became
established in Rhode Island and about the most difficult political
crisis that split the community for fifty years, caused by the
assassination of an Archbishop in another state. "Mitchnapert"
follows the Armenians as they assimilate into the American
mainstream, providing the reader a lucid and rare historical
examination of what Armenians in Rhode Island accomplished and how
they gained such notoriety in their Diaspora.
The "street stories" and historical essays of past events
provide much factual evidence and familiarity to those who lived
through the more recent periods. The early business scene and
descriptions of neighborhoods where Armenians lived are recounted.
Complex issues of how they are surviving the ethnic "melting pot"
syndrome, both present and in the future are examined as second and
third generation Armenian Americans become the community's new
decision makers. Included is a "Who's Who" cross-section of
Armenians who live and work in the state and those who moved
elsewhere but still retain their Rhode Island roots.
