阿达纳的恐怖：20世纪初的革命与暴力

1909年4月，位于现代土耳其南部安纳托利亚地区的阿达纳省发生了两次大屠杀，2万多名亚美尼亚人和2000多名穆斯林丧生。奥斯曼帝国中央政府未能起诉罪魁祸首，这一误判将在未来几年产生影响。尽管这些事件意义重大，暴力和破坏程度严重，但阿达纳大屠杀往往被排除在历史叙述之外。《阿达纳的恐怖》是对这些事件的第一次仔细审视，分析了最终导致暴力灾难的社会政治和经济变革。
贝德罗斯·德马托西为所有参与屠杀的人——肇事者、受害者和旁观者——提供了发言权和代理权。利用十几种语言的原始资料，他发展了一种跨学科的方法，以了解谣言和情绪、公共领域和人道主义干预，这些共同影响了这一复杂事件。最终，通过对阿达纳大屠杀的微观历史细节的思考，这本书提供了对种族暴力的重要宏观理解，阐明了普通人如何以及为什么会成为犯罪者。
The Horrors of Adana: Revolution and Violence in the Early Twentieth Century
In April 1909, two waves of massacres shook the province of Adana, located in the southern Anatolia region of modern-day Turkey, killing more than 20,000 Armenians and 2,000 Muslims. The central Ottoman government failed to prosecute the main culprits, a miscarriage of justice that would have repercussions for years to come. Despite the significance of these events and the extent of violence and destruction, the Adana Massacres are often left out of historical narratives. The Horrors of Adana offers one of the first close examinations of these events, analyzing sociopolitical and economic transformations that culminated in a cataclysm of violence.
Bedross Der Matossian provides voice and agency to all involved in the massacres―perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. Drawing on primary sources in a dozen languages, he develops an interdisciplinary approach to understand the rumors and emotions, public spheres and humanitarian interventions that together informed this complex event. Ultimately, through consideration of the Adana Massacres in micro-historical detail, this book offers an important macrocosmic understanding of ethnic violence, illuminating how and why ordinary people can become perpetrators.
