Monuments and Identities in the Caucasus (Brill, 2023) is the first multidisciplinary volume whose focus is on the barely accessible highlands between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and their invaluable artistic heritage. Numerous ancient and mediaeval monuments of Artsakh/Karabagh and Nakhichevan find themselves in the crucible of a strife involving mutually exclusive national accounts. Those which have not already been demolished are gravely endangered today by the politics of cultural destruction endorsed by the modern state of Azerbaijan.
This volume contains seventeen contributions by renowned scholars from eight nations, rare photographic documentation, and a detailed inventory of all the monuments discussed.
Presented by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), Association Internationale des Etudes Arméniennes (AIEA), Mashtots Chair in Armenian Studies at Harvard University, Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA, Richard Hovannisian Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA, and Society for Armenian Studies (SAS).
