Journal of Modern Hellenism — American Hellenic Institute
This volume continues the collaboration between AHIF and the Center for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies (Queens College, CUNY) in the co-publication of the Journal of Modern Hellenism, and presents a focused scholarly examination of the shared historical experiences of Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians during the early twentieth century.
This scholarship presented in this volume also reflects the scholarly and educational work of the Asia Minor and Pontos Hellenic Research Center, whose mission has been to advance rigorous, comparative research on the genocide of the Christian populations of the Ottoman Empire. Founded to promote serious academic inquiry and public education, the Center has played a key role in fostering the comparative framework—alongside Armenian and Assyrian experiences—that informs the scholarship presented in this volume.
This special issue is dedicated to the memory of George Mavropoulos (1938–2024), founder of the Asia Minor and Pontos Hellenic Research Center. Mavropoulos devoted decades to advancing serious, balanced, and inclusive scholarship on the Greek genocide. Dr. Hatzidimitriou describes his life’s work as marked by a “tireless and unselfish devotion to truth, justice and to remembering those lost during that dark period.”
