The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou

In the second of a three-volume work Seta B. Dadoyan explores the Armenian condition from the 970s to the end of the fourteenth century. This period marked the gradual loss of semi-autonomy on the traditional mainland and the rise of Armenian power of diverging patterns in southeastern Asia Minor north Syria Cilicia and Egypt. Dadoyan's premise is that if Armenians and Armenia have always been located in the Middle East and the Islamic world then their history is also a natural part of that region and its peoples. She observes that the Armenian experience has been too complicated to be defined by simplistic constructs centered on the idea of a heroic yet victimized nation. She notes that a certain politics of historical writing supported by a culture of authority has focused sharply on episodes and in particular on the genocide. For her sources Dadoyan has used all available and relevant (primary and secondary) Armenian sources as well as primary Arab texts and sources. This book will stimulate re-evaluation of the period and re-conceptualizing Armenian and Middle Eastern histories. | The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou
