"Down in Turkey far away" — Human Rights, the Armenian Massacres
of 1895-96, and Orientalism in Imperial Germany is the topic of a
lecture to be given by Professor Margaret Lavinia Anderson on Friday,
November 2 at UCLA.
The lecture is sponsored by the UCLA Armenian Studies Program and
Department of History and the National Association for Armenian
Studies and Research.
Margaret Anderson is Professor of History at the University of
California, Berkeley, and an established scholar in Modern German and
European history and in German-Ottoman relations. She will discuss
the responses to the Hamidian massacres, highlighting the differences
between Germany and the rest of the West and the reasons for those
differences.
This is a part of a larger study that Anderson has undertaken on
German-Ottoman/Turkish relations from the Armenian massacres of the
1890s to the 1930s.
