"Scout Tufankjian has created a glorious celebration of the
Armenian experience in her exhaustive documentation of the
diaspora. Armenia and Armenians have survived to be a major
presence in the modern world, and Tufankjian has captured it
all."
Eric Bogosian, author of Operation Nemesis: The Assassination Plot
That Avenged the Armenian Genocide
"This book is a wonder: a poignant, powerful, beautiful testimony
to the breadth of the Armenian heart and the resiliency of the
Armenian spiritperhaps even the human spirit. We may be a diaspora
people, almost all of us descendants of a cataclysmic genocide. But
in her moving, luminescent photographs, Scout Tufankjian reminds us
what it means to live. Our schools, our stories, our very soul come
alive in these images. I felt not merely love for my people in this
book: I felt pride."
Chris Bohjalian author of The Sandcastle Girls
"Remarkable photography and amazing stories of a fascinating
people: this book is a must for anyone who knows, or cares to know
about, the far-flung and multifaceted Armenian diaspora."
John Marshall Evans, former US Ambassador to the Republic of
Armenia
"Scout Tufankjian circles the globe capturing emblematic moments in
the lives of Armenians. Her beautiful photographs are a moving
testament to both the powerful thread of identity and the fertile
adventure of diaspora and diversity. In this, the one-hundredth
year since the Armenian Genocide, Tufankjian's photographs serve as
neither commemoration nor consolation, but rather as exploration
and celebration of the resiliency and vibrancy of a people still in
the process of finding their place in history and in the world.

There Was"
