Summary:	"The memoirs in this collection deal with the contemporary encounters of Armenians and their interactions with and understanding of their ancestral culture. The volume attempts to pull apart what it means to be a diasporic Armenian at this cultural moment, when Armenians, alongside other marginal voices, are grappling with their place in North American identity discourse, especially for those Armenians also in other, marginalized groups (gay/queer, multiracial, and so on)"--
