Armenians of New England, The

Description

The Armenians of New England: Celebrating a Culture and Preserving a Heritage, and edited by Marc A. Mamigonian, presents the proceedings of the 1999 conference of the same name held at Bentley College in Waltham, MA. The Armenians of New England conference was the first to undertake the study of an Armenian community of North America and was the result of the cooperation of a number of Boston-area Armenian organizations. Handsomely designed with dozens of photographs, the book covers a wide range of topics relevant to the Armenians of New England specifically, and many of wider relevance. Religion, immigration, literature, architecture, music, civic, political, and cultural institutions, inter-ethnic relations – these subjects and others are illuminated by the articles contained in the book.
