Description: Hrant Dink by Tuba Candar This is the biography of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist and political activist FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This is the biography of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist and political activist. He worked for the democratic rights of all Turkish citizens, including the right to speak freely about the genocide of Anatolias Armenians in 1915. As a result of his activism, Dink was assassinated by Turkish nationalists in 2007.As founder and editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper, Agos, in 1996, Dink was the first secular voice of Turkeys silenced Christian-Armenian minority. He fought for the democratization of the Turkish political system. This was a risky undertaking, in a country where Armenians live as closed communities; it was also unprecedented in Turkey. Dink was prosecuted three times for "insulting and denigrating Turkishness" and ultimately convicted.The biography is written as an oral history, and assembles a mosaic of memories as told by Dinks family, friends, and comrades. Dinks own "voice," in the form of his writings, is also included. Originally published in Turkey, it is now available for an English-speaking audience on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Author Biography Tuba Candar, the author, is a Turkish writer and journalist. Gerard Libaridian is editor of Transactions Armenian Studies series. Maureen Freely, who translated this work, is a novelist and a professor at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom.
