This thesis investigates the revival of the Caucasian people, the Circassians, who today can be found as minorities and diaspora-groups in a number of states. This is primarily the result of an extended war against the Russian Empire that was finally lost in 1864, upon which 90 per cent of the Circassians were forced into exile under such conditions that hundreds of thousands died. Recognition of the forced exile as an act of genocide has been a key question that many – often relatively recently upstarted – Circassian organizations cooperate in promoting. An increasingly transnational cooperation where especially internet-generated mobilization plays a key role.
