"Armenian Kesaria/Kayseri and Cappadocia" focuses on the history, religion,
economic and social life, and cultural, educational, and political
developments of the Armenians in the city of Kesaria (Gesaria) and its many
outlying villages, including Talas, Everek, Fenesse, Tomarza, Chomakhlu,
Injesu, Efkere, and Germir. There are several contributors to this volume
along with Professor Richard Hovannisian.
This volume derives from one of the 18 international conferences organized
by Hovannisian between 1997 and 2010 relating to important historic Armenian
regions, nearly all of which are now devoid of their native Armenian
inhabitants.
Professor Hovannisian is the past holder of the AEF Chair in Modern History
at UCLA.
He is the author of Armenia on the Road to Independence, the 4-volume
history The Republic of Armenia, and has edited and contributed to more than
20 books including The Armenian Genocide in Perspective, The Armenian People
from Ancient to Modern Times, Remembrance and Denial, Looking Backward,
Moving Forward, and The Armenian Genocide: Cultural and Ethical Legacies.

Text Box: While much information and research has enlightened understanding
of Armenians from Isfahan, little other information exists in English about
Armenians living in other parts of Iran, even Armenians in Tabriz, a
prosperous and important urban community. Like the Assyrians who were
largely based in villages throughout the Middle East, the Armenians of the
Urmia plain led agrarian lives for much of the 19th century and even when
they moved into Urmiah, a hub of agrarian wholesale markets in wheat and
raisins, they often engaged in trade that involved their village roots. For
instance, the Minassian family, who held the wheat wholesale market, was
married into an Assyrian family from Gulpashan, one of the richest towns on
the Urmia plain. Dr. Al-Jeloo'
Dr. Nicholas Al-Jeloo is an Australian-Assyrian whose high-quality
photographs have been used in art and history books about the Middle East,
such as ChristophBaumer'
