Więcej o książce
This book offers a profound exploration of how geopolitics impacts the lives of ordinary Armenians over the past two decades. Through intimate interviews with three hundred individuals and accompanied by Jerry Berndt's striking photographs, it captures the social, economic, and spiritual challenges faced during the tumultuous 1980s and 1990s, marked by an earthquake, pogroms, and war. The narrative reveals extreme suffering and resilience, showcasing the struggle for independence and a nuanced portrayal of the human spirit. Focusing on four distinct groups—survivors of the 1988 earthquakes, refugees from Azerbaijan fleeing violence, individuals affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and citizens enduring harsh winters due to blockades—the Millers provide context and thematic depth while prioritizing personal stories. Their firsthand accounts convey the emotional weight of these experiences, inviting readers to engage with the realities of contemporary Armenia. The authors also share insights from their research trips, encouraging a broader understanding beyond headlines and personal circumstances. This work serves as a powerful testament to survival and hope amidst adversity.
