It illustrates how British observers represented the 'in-between' position of Armenians and considers the early development of atrocity narratives that related acts of violence and oppression by the Ottomans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book goes on to examine responses to the massacres of the Armenians during the First World War, showing how established images of Armenians were transformed in the wake of this crisis. Laycock then turns to the post-war period when attempts were made to define and establish an independent Armenian nation state amidst international efforts to provide for the relief and resettlement of Armenian refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book ends with the long-term implications that British and international 'abandonment' of the Armenians had for their subsequent place in public memory. This book will be of interest to scholars of modern British history, Armenian history, and wider issues within European studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849300037868,"sku":"9780719078170","price":246.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27996733482443.jpg?v=1759037405","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/imagining-armenia-by-joanne-laycock-9780719078170","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
