The Armenians
People, Culture and History edited by Nicholas Awde This sourcebook on the history,
people, traditions, arts, language, literature, and media of the Armenians looks
at the past, present and future of both the Armenian Diaspora and the Republic
of Armenia. In addition to the regular chapters, special boxes focus on subjects
such as folklore and major festivals, the medieval kingdom of Cilicia, artist
Arshile Gorky, the bard Sayat Nova and fi lm-maker Atom Egoyan. Rounding off this
wealth of detailed information are more than 100 b/w photographs, illustrations
and maps, a list of proverbs, suggestions for further reading, a chronology of
historical events, and a discography.
