<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The story of the Armenians has always been one of upheaval. For the past three thousand years, waves of immigrants left their homes--following ancient trade and pilgrimage routes, driven out by the 1915 Armenian Genocide, and fleeing countless wars, revolutions, and massacres. <p/>Despite this history of exile, today's Armenian diaspora is strong and vibrant--with over eight million Armenians living in more than eighty-five countries across the globe. The story of these survivors, however, has been largely untold. Until now. <p/>With more than 160 photographs, this book is a beautiful and loving portrait of the global Armenian community captured in joyful detail by an exceptional photographer--highlighting this ancient community's strength, versatility, and ability to survive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"Scout Tufankjian has created a glorious celebration of the Armenian experience in her exhaustive documentation of the diaspora.
