This book rethinks the Armenian people as significant actors in the
context of Mediterranean and global history. Spanning a millennium
of cross-cultural interaction and exchange across the Mediterranean
world, essays move between connected histories, frontier studies,
comparative literature, and discussions of trauma, memory,
diaspora, and visual culture. Contributors dismantle narrow,
national ways of understanding Armenian literature; propose new
frameworks for mapping the post-Ottoman Mediterranean world; and
navigate the challenges of writing national history in a globalized
age. A century after the Armenian genocide, this book reimagines
the borders of the "Armenian," pointing to a fresh vision for the
field of Armenian studies that is omnivorously comparative, deeply
interconnected, and rich with possibility.

The fascinating story of how premodern Anatolia's multireligious
intersection of cultures shaped its literary languages and poetic
masterpieces By the mid-thirteenth century, Anatolia had become a
place of stunning cultural diversity. Kindred Voices explores how
the region's Muslim and Christian poets grappled with the
multilingual and multireligious worlds they inhabited, attempting
to impart resonant forms of instruction to their intermingled
communities. This convergence produced fresh poetic styles and
sensibilities, native to no single people or language, that enabled
the period's literature to reach new and wider audiences. This is
the first book to study the era's major Persian, Armenian, and
Turkish poets, from roughly 1250 to 1340, against the canvas of
this broader literary ecosystem.
