NEWLY PUBLISHED ARMENIANS OF NEW ENGLAND TO BE LAUNCHED AT RECEPTION
Dr. Anny Bakalian of City University of New York will speak
at the Armenian Cultural Foundation (ACF) in Arlington on Sunday, May
22, at 3 p.m., on "The Armenians of New England: Celebrating a Culture
and Preserving a Heritage." The event is cosponsored by the National
Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) and the ACF, and
is expected to be attended by contributors to the new publication
including Armenians of New England editor and Director of Publications
at NAASR, Marc Mamigonian.
The Armenians of New England: Celebrating a Culture and Preserving a
Heritage marked the first time a conference was held to examine an
Armenian community in North America. The publication of the conference
proceedings makes these important papers available to the general
public, and it is hoped that they will spur further research in the
field.
The book will be officially launched at the reception that will begin
with a talk by Dr. Bakalian, Associate Director of the Middle East and
Middle Eastern American Center at CUNY, author of the highly regarded
Armenian Americans: From Being to Feeling Armenian and organizer of the
successful conference, "A Century of Armenians in America: Voices from
New Scholarship," held in New York City in October 2004.
Dr. Bakalian will use the findings in The Armenians of New England as a
bridge to a discussion of new scholarship on the Armenian-American
community. At the conclusion of her talk, she will recognize
contributing authors to the volume in attendance and encourage
discussion with them and other members of the audience. The program will
conclude with wine and Armenian delicacies.
Admission to this event is free (donations appreciated). Limited parking
is available on site. The lecture will begin promptly at 3:00 p.m.
More information about the lecture is available by contacting NAASR at
