This book is a poetic and personal journey through the rugged, human-and-history-laden landscape of the mountainous Republic of Nagorno–Karabagh. It is also a unique collaboration between a photographer son and his well–known, writer father. A family steeped in Armenian literature and art, Vahé and Ara Oshagan's work is the result of an intensely felt connection to their heritage and homeland. Father Land is a literary and visual contemplation of Karabagh's present–day, its history and its culture, as well as a meditation on transnational identity, land, and paternal bonds.
