Exploring the Armenian-Argentine experience, Tigran Yegavian asks whether a diaspora can sustain Armenianness without a homeland, reflecting on identity, disconnection, and the enduring spirit that binds a dispersed people across generations and continents.
In the last 100 years, there have been hierarchies of identity and canonical approaches to definitions of "Armenian," especially as articulated, rationalized and promoted by elites, institutions and political parties in the Diaspora and in Armenia. This essay is not a study of identity per se, but about one of the aspects of identity – the “Armenian” bit of it.
