As I See it : Selected Writings of Leo Sarkisian(softcover)

Edited and with an introduction by Antranig Kasbarian

Leo Sarkisian (1934-1992) was a decades-long political activist who became widely regarded as a leader in the effort to promote and modernize the Armenian Cause. At the same time, he was a prolific commentator on Armenian affairs, serving as an essayist and columnist for The Armenian Weekly over a span of nearly 40 years. As I See It includes a representative sample of Sarkisian’s writings, covering a diverse range of themes—from international politics to Armenian cuisine, from US popular culture to Armenian diasporan self-image. Taken together, the collection reveals a wit, a worldliness, a candor, and a conviction that combine to produce a rare brand of criticism, one that is as enlivening as it is informative.
