The mass killing of Ottoman Armenians is today widely recognized,
both within and outside scholarly circles, as an act of genocide.
What is less well known, however, is that it took place within a
broader context of Ottoman violence against minority groups during
and after the First World War. Among those populations decimated
were the indigenous Christian Assyrians (also known as Syriacs or
Chaldeans) who lived in the borderlands of present-day Turkey,
Iran, and Iraq. This volume is the first scholarly edited
collection focused on the Assyrian genocide, or "Sayfo" (literally,
"sword" in Aramaic), presenting historical, psychological,
anthropological, and political perspectives that shed much-needed
light on a neglected historical atrocity.

Drawing on the expertise of scholars from a variety of backgrounds,
this anthology specifically seeks to shed light on this genocide
from a multidisciplinary perspective and serve as a step for
developing the future scholarship about the Sayfo.
