    Rubina Peroomian, UCLA, [email protected] "Truth is Not Only Violated by Falsehood; it May be Equally Outraged by Silence" or The Suppression of the Memory of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey Beginning from the inception of the Turkish Republic, the CUP (Committee of Union and Progress, also known as the Young Turk party) policy of Turkification resumed full force and was implemented upon ethnic and religious minorities, among them the Armenian remnants of the 1915 Genocide. The Armenian cultural revival in Constantinople, between 1918 and 1923, was cut short by the encroachment of the Kemalist army and Mustafa Kemal’s eventual control over the entire country. The CUP ideology of “Turkey for the Turks only” was revived but camouflaged by a less threatening and inherently more inciting notion of “One Nation, One Language, One Religion!” The goal was achieved not only by impositions on the Republic’s infrastructural domains, especially the educational system and media, but also by the implementation of special laws and regulations, such as the abolition of non-Turkish surnames in 1934,1 denying Armenians, among others, who could claim Armenianness by a name that related to their ancestors. This was followed by the 1942 wealth tax (varlik vergisi), extreme and disproportionate taxation levied on non-Muslims, stripping them of their belongings, driving them out of business. The 1955 pogroms, 6-7 September, against Greeks spreading over Armenians as well, was another show of intolerance against non-Muslim ethnic minorities. The policy of Turkification was accelerated by the 1960s campaign highlighting the 1928 slogan “Fellow citizen, speak Turkish! (Vatandaş, Türkçe Konuş!) prohibiting the use of any language but Turkish.2 1 Even before the promulgation of The Law on Surnames, No.

  • Freeing Voices of Dissent in the Underground Newspaper Collection
    Laurie Charnigo Prisoners of Microfilm Freeing Voices of Dissent in the Underground Newspaper Collection “We are a people, and a people must have their own voice, and that voice is the underground press.”1 - Thomas King Forcade 1. Bad juju I put the finishing touch on the display case in the lobby of our library, a sign in bold newsprint: “Come Explore the UPS Underground Newspaper 41 Collection (1963-1975)!” Stepping back to admire my creation, I almost had to brace myself against the dizzying psychedelic collage of graphics. This display screamed not only “Look at me!” but “Damn! I’m cool!” And oh how cool it was covered with photos, comics, and covers from a wide range of colorful Vietnam-era ‘underground’ newspapers. The bright art of Black Panther’s Emory Douglas shouted “Power to the People!” Psychedelic covers of the San Francisco Oracle flashed Vedic Motifs, bearded gurus, and hookah- smoking shamans. Gilbert Sheldon’s Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Trina Robbins’ feminist superheroes playfully danced throughout the display. There were photos of protesters marching for civil rights, gay rights, women’s rights, and in opposition to the war in Vietnam. There were raised fists of solidarity, peace signs, concert posters, a real lava lamp (which I hoped wouldn’t burn the library down), and covers of the Berkeley Barb, Avatar, the Los Angeles Free Press, and many others. Books about the Vietnam-era underground press were featured prominently throughout the display, such as Ken Wachsberger’s extensive Voices from the Underground series and John McMillian’s Smoking Typewriters: The Sixties Underground Press and the Rise of Alternative Media Laurie Charnigo is education librarian at Jacksonsville State University in Alabama.
