Armenians, Jews, and Humanitarianism in the 'Age of Questions', 1830-1900

Abstract

Go to Armenia, and you will not find an Armenian. They, too, are an expatriated nation, like the Hebrews.. The Armenian has a proverb: 'In every city of the East I find a home.' They are everywhere; the rivals of my people, for they are one of the great races, and little degenerated: with all our industry, and much of our energy.. Benjamin Disraeli, Tancred; or, The new crusade (1847)
