Although his parents rarely spoke of their families and the horrors they survived, the genocide and their parents' silence about it was a permanent backdrop to the Harootunian children's upbringing. In \u003ci\u003eThe Unspoken as Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e Harootunian--for the first time in his distinguished career--turns to his personal life and family heritage to explore the genocide's multigenerational afterlives that remain at the heart of the Armenian diaspora. Drawing on novels, anecdotes, and reports, Harootunian presents a composite sketch of the everyday life of his parents, from their childhood in East Anatolia to the difficulty of making new lives in the United States. A meditation on loss, inheritance, and survival--in which Harootunian attempts to come to terms with a history that is just beyond his reach--\u003ci\u003eThe Unspoken as Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the genocidal past never leaves the present, even in its silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarry Harootunian is Max Palevsky Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Chicago; professor emeritus of East Asian studies at New York University; and the author of numerous books, most recently, \u003ci\u003eUneven Moments: Reflections on Japan's Modern History\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 29, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47612416393469,"sku":"9781478006282","price":57.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/VFVxY1E3aURuRkdpQlJ5TVd5WlBOZz09.webp?v=1780167199","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-unspoken-as-heritage-the-armenian-genocide-and-its-unaccounted-lives-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
