DESCRIPTION:The Armenian Genocide of 1915 remains an event that has stirred
  controversy and created confusion long decades after it occurred. Hardly 
 contested at the time\, or in the early years after the deportations and m
 assacres of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman authorities\
 , the tragic elimination of Armenians from what is today the Turkish Repub
 lic has been subjected to distortions and denials in the last half century
 . What happened and why requires explanation. Ronald Grigor Suny offers a 
 review of the ways people have constructed (and deconstructed!) the Genoci
 de and a unique interpretation of why the Young Turks turned to the most e
 xtreme methods to rid their empire of what they perceived as an existentia
 l threat. Ronald G. Suny is the Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor of Soci
 al and Political History at the University of Michigan. Professor Suny is 
 the author of many books\, co-editor of A Question of Genocide: Armenians 
 and Turks at the End of the Ottoman Empire\, and one of the leading expert
 s on the non-Russian nationalities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Un
 ion\, particularly those of the South Caucasus (Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and
  Georgia). Speaking: Ronald G. Suny Charles Tilly Collegiate Professor Soc
