Description:
In the 1890s, Armenians in the Ottoman Empire became the targets of a wave of massacres, leading to the deaths of more than 100,000 people and the uprooting of many more. This process also brought about a massive process of property transfer from the Armenians to local powerholders and the state. About two decades later, during the Armenian genocide, around one million Armenians were killed by various techniques, including on-site massacres participated by local forces in different regions.In this talk, Mehmet Polatel (2019-2020 Center Junior Postdoctoral
Research Fellow) explores the relationship between these two events by
tracing people and groups who were directly involved in both of these
episodes as perpetrators and usurpers. Scrutinizing the escalation
effect created by the Hamidian massacres in the 1890s and changes in
local structures, he underscores the importance of this historical
context in shaping the unfolding of the genocide. Drawing on archival
documents and video and audio testimonies of survivors from the USC
Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive he argues that these earlier
massacres and the processes that accompanied them led to the emergence
of a large interest group whose wealth and power depended on the
protection of the post-massacre status-quo, and people from this group
played crucial roles in the genocide by directly participating in
on-site massacres.
This will be an online lecture. Please join us via Zoom at this link.
Co-sponsored by USC Institute of Armenian Studies.
