WORCESTER, Massachusetts, USA — Historian and sociologist Taner Akçam announced the forthcoming publication of his new book, Empire of Violence: A New History of the Armenian Genocide, which he describes as the culmination of more than 35 years of research on the Armenian Genocide. The 288-page book will be published by Princeton University Press in January 2027. It examines the period from 1878 through the 1930s through what Akçam describes as a “new understanding of continuity,” placing the Armenian Genocide within a broader history of anti-Christian violence in the late Ottoman Empire that also affected Greeks and Suroye (Syriacs–Arameans–Assyrians–Chaldeans).
