Armenian Identity In A Changing World

"This book intends to discuss the old and the new constituents of Armenian identity, such as language, religion or shared history in broader Transcaucasian and former Soviet Union context. It focuses on the shaping of the paradigms of Armenian identity and the transformation of its key symbols in the late 1980s and post-communist period. The 16 chapters and 67 subchapters of the book are composed to present respectively the main and the forking paths of different ages and of different lengths that eventually form the park/garden of the Armenian identity."--BOOK JACKET.
