Recenzii
“Khatchig Mouradian has written a pathbreaking book on the Armenian genocide. Using a wealth of untapped sources in multiple languages, he shows how a humanitarian resistance network emerged in Ottoman Syria that saved the lives of many Armenians. The Resistance Network is essential reading not only for the new insights it offers on the Armenian genocide but also for the compelling analysis of humanitarianism and resistance in times
of great atrocities.” —ERIC D. WEITZ, author of A World Divided: The Global Struggle for Human Rights in the Age of Nation-States
"Khatchig Mouradian’s impressive first book, The Resistance Network, highlights the rich potential that Armenian sources hold not only for Armenian Genocide studies but for scholars of mass violence, more broadly. The result is a stunning piece of scholarship that boldly suggests that the defining story of the Armenians is not so much the Armenian Genocide but their resistance to it." - International Journal of Middle East Studies
"I have never thought of any book on the history of the Armenian Genocide as inspiring. All of them have been illuminating and sobering to the core . . . except this one. Khatchig, in his passionate and clear-eyed commitment to his decades long study and heavy lifting, has taken the blue flame of the pain of the Genocide and churned it into an offering of hope and a sincere reminder to all who resist today and who will no doubt resist tomorrow. We need this book for our souls now more than ever. I hope that Khatchig’s scholarly torch will illuminate and inspire you when you read this masterful book." - ERIC NAZARIAN. Armenian Weekly
"Mouradian’s is by far the most thorough and original account of resistance by Armenian victims to the genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire during WW I. His data-rich, precisely crafted investigation of the Turkish policy of deportation and slaughter, using hitherto neglected sources, offers a grounded yet highly original analysis of the murder of a million Armenians expelled from their homeland to Syria." - Choice Reviews
"We now have an impressively straightforward, well-researched, and convincing account of how the genocide of the Armenians, and the mostly local and humanitarian, resistance to that state-initiated and state-led campaign of destruction, played out in Syria 1915-1918." - MATTHIAS BJORNLUND, historian
“This book offers extraordinary research that reveals poignant and undeniable aspects of an untold chapter of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Syria. Undoubtedly, Mouradian's work constitutes a valuable recommendation for anyone seeking to understand the details of a planned genocide which was hindered by the numerous acts of courage of the members of a resistance network that helped thousands of Armenians survive.” - María Alejandra Serantes, Revista de Estudios sobre Genocidio
“The Resistance Network is a well-researched, insightful, and valuable contribution to scholarship on the Armenian genocide.” - Deborah Mayersen, Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Descriere
The Resistance Network is the history of an underground network of humanitarians, missionaries, and diplomats in Ottoman Syria who helped save the lives of thousands during the Armenian Genocide. Piecing together hundreds of accounts, official documents, and missionary records, Mouradian presents a social history of genocide and resistance in wartime Aleppo and a network of transit and concentration camps in this region. He ultimately argues that, despite the violent and systematic mechanisms of control and destruction in the cities, concentration camps, and massacre sites in Aleppo, the genocide of the Armenians did not progress unhindered—unarmed resistance proved an important factor in saving countless lives.
