Remembering the Great War in the Middle East Summary

Remembering the Great War in the Middle East: From Turkey and Armenia to Australia and New Zealand by Hans-Lukas Kieser (University of Zurich, Switzerland)

This book addresses the conflicts, myths, and memories that grew out of the Great War in Ottoman Turkey, and their legacies in society and politics. It is the third volume in a series dedicated to the combined analysis of the Ottoman Great War and the Armenian Genocide. In Australia and New Zealand, and even more in the post-Ottoman Middle East, the memory of the First World War still has an immediacy that it has long lost in Europe. For the post-Ottoman regions, the first of the two World Wars, which ended Ottoman rule, was the formative experience. This volume analyses this complex configuration: why these entanglements became possible; how shared or even contradictory memories have been constructed over the past hundred years, and how differing historiographies have developed. Remembering the Great War in the Middle East reaches towards a new conceptualization of the long last Ottoman decade (1912-22), one that places this era and its actors more firmly at the center, instead of on the periphery, of a history of a Greater Europe, a history comprising - as contemporary maps did - Europe, Russia, and the Ottoman world.

Remembering the Great War in the Middle East Reviews

Focused on the entangled relation between the Battle of Gallipoli and the Armenian genocide, this excellent collection of studies offers a wealth of thought provoking insights into the legacies of the First World War in Turkey, Armenia, Israel, Australia and New Zealand. This is a timely contribution to our understanding of how the events of 1915 have been remembered, contested and actively forgotten in the service of nation-building, foreign diplomacy and domestic politics in countries seemingly far apart. * Erik Sjoeberg, Soedertoern University, Sweden *
