Caught in Cultural Limbo?: A College Student’s Perspective on Growing Up with Immigrant Parents Melissa Weiss Providence College A project based upon an independent investigation, submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Social Work. 2012 2 Abstract Much recent scholarship of immigrants, has found a second-generation disadvantage, or an “immigrant paradox” instead of a “second generation advantage”. In contrast to past studies, this study employed qualitative methods to explore mental health and risky behavior variables of the immigrant paradox among college-aged children of immigrants who attend a private, liberal arts institution to gain a more meaningful understanding of this “paradox”. No strong evidence suggesting an “immigrant paradox” in terms of these variables was found, but instead participants expressed cultural pride. It was also found that these individuals valued their present support systems and those they had while growing up.

  • The World War and the Turco-Armenian Question
    THE WORLD WAR AND THE TURCO-ARMENIAN QUESTION BY AHMED RUSTEM BEY Formerly Turkish Ambassador in Washington Berne 1918 translated by Stephen Cambron PERSONAL EXPLANATION OF THE AUTHOR The son of a Pole, who having been harbored in Turkey after the Hungarian abortive Revolution of 1848, served this country as an officer and was the object of government favors till his death, I was infeoffed to the Turkish people as much out of thankfulness as because of their numerous, amiable qualities. In writing this book intended to defend turkey against the Western public opinion concerning the Turco-Armenian question, I have only given way to my grateful feelings towards the country where I was born and which made me, in my turn, the object of her benevolence. These feelings expressed themselves by acts of indubitable loyalty and there is they reason why I fought twice in duel to maintain her honor and served her as a volunteer during the Turco-Greek War. It is after having ended my career and assured a long time ago of the kind feelings of the Ottoman Government and of my Turkish fellowmen’s that I publish this work under my name. Thereby I mean to say that I am only obeying my love towards the country. As to the degree of conviction with which I put my pen to her service in this discussion, where the question is to prove that Turkey is not so guilty as report goes and in which passions are roused to the utmost is sufficiently fixed by my signing this defense in which I speak the plain truth to the Armenian committees and the Entente.

  • Between Old and New Rome
    Jonas Thungren Lindbärg “A burdensome matter it is today to abandon the delicate and subtle customs of the Latin people, i.e. the Franks, and to return to the Between Old and New Rome dullness of the old Armenians.” Thus wrote the Armenian archbishop Nerses, not without a hint of Armenian and Bulgarian Contacts with the Papacy around 1204 sarcasm, when defending his endeavour to unite the Armenian Church with the Roman in the late twelfth century. What this old dullness was is less clear but it seems that Latin customs had indeed become both Jonas Thungren Lindbärg desirable and powerful, for this ecumenical endeavour met with success and only a handful of years later something similar occured in the Between Old and New Rome Old and New Between Balkans, when a newly founded Bulgarian empire submitted to the Roman Church as well. The rulers of these realms would not only profess their loyalty to the Roman Church but would also carry papal banners into battle and exchange letters with the pope. This study examines how these rulers used their relationships with the Papacy, as well as how the pope used his relationship with them. It is a study of ideas and of symbolic power, of how kingdoms and empires were imagined and expressed. It is a study of the new and the old, of two new power-centres emerging from the old peripheries of the crumbling Byzantine Empire, of leaders weaving together real and imagined histories with new influences in order to establish and profess their legitimate rule.

This research explores how the ‘Armenian question’ in Turkey opens up a discursive space in which various forms of Turkish nationalism are constructed and reproduced, and addresses multifaceted narratives from members of the Armenian community.

  • Ethnic Fears and Ethnic War in Karabagh
    Ethnic Fears and Ethnic War In Karabagh Stuart J. Kaufman University of Kentucky October 1998 The ethnic conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanis over the region of Nagorno-Karabagh first exploded into violence—or at least, into the newspapers—with the Sumgait pogroms of 1988, during which hundreds of Christian Armenians were killed or injured at the hands of mobs of Muslim Azerbaijanis. The conflict placed the “nationality question” back near the top of the Soviet Union’s political agenda, and it can be seen in retrospect as the death knell of the Soviet Union itself, representing the first indication of the capacity of nationalist conflicts inside the USSR to undermine Soviet rule. It also developed into the bloodiest and most destructive of the ethnic wars in the Gorbachev years, producing by one estimate some 10,000 dead after 5 years of conflict, and over 1 million refugees on the Azerbaijani side alone. 1 The Karabagh conflict therefore bears studying as an important episode in its own right. It also bears studying as a case study in the theory of ethnic or nationalist conflict. Mark Saroyan, one of the most talented students of the Transcaucasus and its turmoil, posed the question of interpretation this way: “The Armenian Protests: Is it Passion or Politics?” Though Saroyan’s polemic was aimed primarily at journalists, it was reprinted for a scholarly audience because most scholars agreed with the question, the majority also agreeing with Saroyan’s answer that the conflict—and many others like it—was driven not by “deep-seated and seemingly immutable hostility,” but rather by a rational drive to achieve ordinary political goals: “a rational response to contemporary institutional constraints.”2 1 Suzanne Goldenberg, Pride of Small Nations: The Caucasus and Post-Soviet Disorder (London: Zed Books, 1994), p.

  • Turkish Names, Christian Faith Armenians in 1455 Istanbul
    Turkish names, Christian faith Armenians in 1455 Istanbul Ursula WHITCHER 1. Introduction In 1455, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II ordered a census of taxpayers in the recently conquered city of Constantinople and its suburb Galata. The inhabitants of the city belonged to diverse ethnic and cultural groups: many were Byzantine Greeks, but there were also Italians, Armenians, Jews, and new Turkish settlers. Like the Byzantines, the Armenians were Christian. However, by the time the Ottomans entered Constantinople, Anatolia had been under Turkish control for hundreds of years. We use the names of Armenians, as recorded in Halil İnalcik’s edition of the 1455 survey (İnalcik 2012), to explore the construction of Armenian identity in the fifteenth century. Unlike their Greek neighbors, the Armenians in the surviving records have names which show a strong Turkish influence. However, the Armenians also have names very different from their Turkish neighbors, because they do not use characteristically Muslim names such as Muhammed or Mustafa. The name choices show Armenian strategies for adapting to Islamic rule of Anatolia while retaining a distinct identity. 2. Armenia in the fifteenth century During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Armenia was controlled by many different groups: Georgians, the Seljuk and Khwarazmian Turks, the Mongols, and later the Timurids. In 1455, most of Armenia was under Timurid control, while the former Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia was ruled by the Mamluks. (For a timeline of Armenia’s rulers, see Bedrosian 2015.) The successive invasions encouraged Armenian migration, and during the fifteenth century ethnic Armenians could be found across Anatolia and the Caucasus (Migliorino 2007).

  • CAUCASICA IV I. Sahl Ibn-Sunbat of Shakkl and Arran II. the Caucasian
    CAUCASICA IV I. Sahl ibn-Sunbat of Shakkl and Arran II. The Caucasian Vassals of Marzuban in 344/955 BY V. MINORSKY Professor Emeritus in the University of London, Corr. Fellow British Academy, Hon. Fellow School of Oriental Studies, Membre Honoraire de la Soc. Asiatique, Doctor honoris causa (University of Brussels). (Reprinted from the BSOAS., 1953, xv/3.) Caucasica IV By V. MlNORSKY THE territory of the present-day Soviet republic of Azarbayjan roughly corresponds to the ancient Caucasian Albania (in Armenian Alovan-V, or Alvan-k', in Arabic Arrdn > al-Rari). Twenty-six languages were spoken in Albania and it had its own kings (Strabo, xi, 4). However, during the seven centuries between Pompey's expedition in 66-5 B.C., to which we owe most of our information on the ancient life of the country, and the Arab invasion in the 7th century a.d., great changes had taken place in the area, under the influence of the Persian expansion up to the Caucasian passes, the Khazar and Alan inroads from the north, and the Armenian cultural activities which resulted in the conversion of the surviving Albanians to the Armenian form of Christianity. The Arab geographers refer to the Arranian language as still spoken in the neighbourhood of Barda'a (Persian : Perdz-dbddh, Armenian Partav), but now only the two villages inhabited by the Udi 1 are considered as the direct con- tinuators of the Albanian linguistic tradition. Our object being the study of the conditions in the 9th-10th centuries, we are not concerned with the further great changes brought about by the invasion of the Turkish Oghuz in the 11th century and the subsequent Turkicization of the area.
