I read Freud's "Civilization and It's Discontents" about 15 years ago and I recommend it to anyone interested in politics and psychology. Of course, people these days keep saying Freud's theories have been disproved... whatever. I was just going through it today and I came upon something that reminded me of Assyrian "exceptionalism": "The more closely the members of a family are attached to one another , the more often do they tend to cut themselves off from others, and the more difficult it is for them to enter the wider circle of life". Here he talks about family, but it's the same with ethnicity and religion. My family, on the Assyrian side, is divided between those who come from Gangachin and the others who are from Salamas. Both Assyrian, both from Urmiya, but the Gangachnai would have a fit if one of theirs married someone from Salamas (as my grandfather did), let alone someone who married an Iranian with Azeri blood, as my father did. I'm thankful for the rebelliousness of both my grandfather and father, who followed their heart and not the dictates of their village.
