Abstract
This book is a study of violence and the consequences of what the author claims is its ‘denial’ by state authorities in the late Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey. She argues that ‘unless [the] Turkish state and society come to terms with the collective violence embedded in their past’ they will not be able to recover trust and respect in each other. The focal point of her study is the ‘Armenian question’ from the past to the present.
