Torn Between Two Lands, Robert Mirak (softcover)

Thousands of Armenians fled to the New World before World War I. But their hearts and minds remained in part on the Old World—with their persecuted countrymen in Turkey and their aspirations for a free Armenia.

Torn Between Two Lands is the first comprehensive study of the Armenian American community that examines the rich background, the patterns of migration and settlement in the New World, the complex economic and social adjustments, the family life, and the religious and political institutions of the newcomers.
