The Lost Identity of the Black Sea

Considering Black Sea people and Laz people to be the same thing is the most well-known clichés and misconceptions about Black Sea people. What else is there that the Black Sea stereotype covers and the official history of the Black Sea makes us forget... The Lost Identity of the Black Sea traces the lost faces of the Black Sea in many dimensions. Laz and Hemshinli, ethno-cultural and religious identity crises... The legacy of multiculturalism... The traces and costs of memory, forgetting, and making people forget... The crystallization of this heritage, these traces, these costs in the story of an Armenian coppersmith from Ordu... Perceptions of Black Sea people and Laz people in popular culture... How does the "Laz" identity change in the big city, how does it become agitated? What kind of a person is "Metropol Lazi"? Uğur Biryol's compilation includes the contributions of İbrahim Dizman, Erhan Gürsel Ersoy, Mehmet Akif Ertaş, Selma Koçiva, Selçuk Küpçük, Tan Morgül, Mahir Özkan, Sezai Sarıoğlu, Metin Solmaz and Vahit Tursun.
