Subject: H-LEVANT: CFP: Late Ottoman Genocides (JGR) [D. Schaller]
CALL FOR PAPERS
Thematic issue of the Journal of Genocide Research (JGR)
Late Ottoman Genocides: The Dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and Young
Turkish Population and Extermination Policies
The murder and expulsion of Anatolian Armenians during World War I is still
labelled as a "forgotten genocide". However, the fate of the Armenians has
attracted significant attention and a real avalanche of books and articles
on the Armenian catastrophe has been published in recent years. And
although the Turkish state still denies the Armenian Genocide, the event
has entered the realm of global collective memory (not least due to the
impact of the internationally perceived commemoration of the 90th
anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide in 2005).
What is still largely forgotten, however, are the murder, expulsion and
deportation of other ethnic groups like Assyrians, Greeks, Kurds and Arabs
by the Young Turks. If at all, these victim groups' fates are dealt with
mainly in their own national histories. However, since Armenian, Assyrian,
Greek and Kurdish national histories are mainly concerned with their own
group's doom the wider context is largely amiss. Furthermore, their results
are lost for a wider historical scholarship. To assess the knowledge on
these groups and to overcome
a national historical approach is the aim of this thematic issue of the
Journal of Genocide Research. It will contribute to our understanding of
the Young Turks' population and extermination policies in all its
complexities and help to bring the forgotten victims' stories "back" into
genocide scholarship.
The editors welcome original and innovative articles dealing with all
possible aspects of Young Turkish population and extermination policies
before and during World War I. After initial editor screening, all
submissions will undergo peer review.
Proposals (max 1.5 pages for papers should be submitted together with a
short curriculum vitae by April 5, 2007 to both
Dominik J. Schaller ([email protected]) and
Jurgen Zimmerer ([email protected])
The articles, which should be a maximum of 8500 words including
documentation, will be due at September 1, 2007.
Please share this information with interested colleagues!
