Rroma Gypsies The reality for many Romani people or Rroma today is life in internment and refugee camps, because even in the twenty first century, and after more than a millennia or persecution, Europe's nomads, the Romani people remain unwelcome and unwanted. More information about the Romani people can be found on the There is no universal written Romani language in use by all Rroma. www.eaglespiritministry.com /works/romani.htm

Struggle for the Control of Identity 7 For all that the growing academic trend represented by Okely, Willems, Wexler, Sandland and to some extent Mayall is attempting to dismiss the genetic distinctiveness of the Romani populations, it has been precisely because of it that Hitler's intent to eradicate us as a people was put into effect. Many of the problems which Rroma are having with non-Rroma are rooted in the vague and muddled notions of who and what Rroma are, and what the Romani experience in Europe has been, and what Rroma have contributed to European culture. Sometimes the Romani cultural and linguistic presence was sufficient that the newly-encountered populations were absorbed and became Rroma in subsequent generations; sometimes the Romani contribution was not sufficient to maintain itself, and other, non-Romani populations such as the Jenisch emerged. www.osi.hu /rpp/perspectives1g.htm

Roma people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alternate spellings of "Rroma" for the people and "Rromanes" for the language, were rejected by the last Romani congress, which defined the universal Romani alphabet. Roma music is very important in Eastern European cultures such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia-Montenegro, Macedonia, Hungary, Russia and Romania, and the style and performance practices of Roma musicians have influenced European classical composers such as Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms. Bolstering the linguistic evidence for an Indian sub-continental Romani origin is that ABO blood group distribution is also consistent with that found in northern Indian warrior classes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Roma_(people)   (4239 words)

RELIGION AND CULTURE OF THE ROMA (ALSO KNOWN AS GYPSIES, ROM, RROMA, ROMANI, RROMA) The Roma people originally lived in north west India, and migrated to Persia from 224 to 642 CE. It is believed that as much as half of the Roma in Europe were enslaved, from the 14th century until Romani slavery was abolished in the mid-19th century. Since many Roma were blacksmiths, the conspiracy theory expanded to involve the Romani. www.religioustolerance.org /roma.htm   (2474 words)

Indira Ghandi's Address, "I Feel Kinship with the Roma People" Roma culture has imbibed and absorbed features of many lands and peoples and it retains memories of elements of Indian civilization. It is apt that the Congress is being held here, for the Roma people have an affinity with the Punjab. Theirs is an example of nationalism within internationalism, beyond prejudice where large heartedless thinks of all people as one big family, living in harmony, trust and peace. www.romani.org /rigadr.html   (685 words)

Why Romà Do Not Like Mainstream Schools: Voices of a People without Territory These theories draw correlations between people’s educational level and the degree of motivation of the learners and their culture; for example, a high rate of illiteracy among the Romaní community is interpreted as proof of their disinterest in education (Iniesta, 1981). Communicative observation aims at observing particular situations, people’s actions and interactions, in order to open a dialogue in which the subject of research is asked to interpret their actions, rather than the researcher interpreting for them. Similarly, in Romania 78.8 percent of Roms live below the poverty line, in comparison to 30.8 percent of the general population (Ringold, 2000, pp. www.neskes.net /workalo/why.htm   (13151 words)

Euromosaic - Finnish in Sweden (Tornedalen) Finnish (including Tornedalen Finnish) is proposed to gain official status as a minority language and both Swedenfinns and Tornedalians are proposed to become official minority groups (in addition to Sami, Romani and Jews). Thus, for Swedish Tornedalen people, the defence of their identity includes claiming their being Swedish. Finnish is generally associated with low status (both cultural and socio-economic) whereas Swedish is regarded as the prestigious language, and about half of the population claims that bilingualism is associated with stigma and thus a burden for the speakers. www.uoc.edu /euromosaic/web/document/fines/an/i2/i2.html   (3739 words)

RHAS3b.doc Our people are still fighting for basic needs in their life, as food and housing, while the thousand year-old prejudices of non Rroma are transformed in skinhead movement and new asylum policy of the developed countries. The Rroma international movement was initiated in 1936 in Poland, but due to the infamous Holocaust during World War II, it started really to exist from 1971 when the First World Romani Congress was organized. As this agenda item is for discussing solutions to situations involving minorities, I would like to present some ideas concerning our experiences with international networking among Roma peoples, and some requests for support from the United Nations for this work. www.unhchr.ch /minorities/statements/RHAS3b.doc   (3739 words)

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In: Amnesty International Report 1999 Some 100 people, predominantly Serbs and Montenegrins, who went missing in uçk -controlled areas or who were detained by the uçk remained unaccounted for at the end of the year. Between March and September more than 250,000 people, predominantly ethnic Albanians, were estimated to have been displaced, many of them forcibly as a result of deliberate actions by the police such as extrajudicial executions and targeting of civilians. In June the trial opened in Prijepolje of Nebojßa Ranisavljeviç who was accused of being one of the perpetrators of the abduction and killing of 20 people at the Ítrpci railway station in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1993 (see Amnesty International Report 1994). www.amnestyusa.org /countries/serbia_montenegro/document.do?id=2F71BA53F1F0C2FA80256A0F005C1BC4   (3739 words)

Coaching Travel Business When you are not familiar with these qualifications, Romanian people will teach you as soon as possible. It is also a social psychological evidence that people manage their thoughts in a way that make the live bearable: I do not depend on them who abuse me. And when I am not related to them, I can lie to them and steel from them. A Rroma can be situated somewhere between somebody who is assimilated and does not speak the Romani languages and some body who is very standoffish to citizenship. home.hetnet.nl /~f3brinkman/rromaE.html   (3739 words)

CER Europe's Beggars, Romania's Roma According to the Party, Romani people cannot work, even if they want to, because the Romanian employers are reluctant to hire them. One of the problems he faces is that the Slovak state does not want to grant him Slovak citizenship—a refusal caused by the same prejudice against Romania and Roma people. Ninety percent of all illegal emigrés are Roma, according to the Romanian embassy in Prague. www.ce-review.org /00/41/dragomir41.html   (1388 words)

National Minorities of Finland, The Roma — Virtual Finland But despite the existing legal framework enabling teaching of and in Romani and teaching of Roma culture, the provision of such education has been hampered by a lack of teachers and teaching materials. Among prominent Finnish Roma, the former General Secretary of the Advisory Board on Roma Affairs, Ms Miranda Vuolasranta, was the first ever Roma employee in the Council of Europe when she started work in its Roma, Gypsies and Travellers Division in October 2002. In 1994, a Roma Education Unit was set up by the National Board of Education to develop and implement a nationwide schooling programme for the Roma community and to promote the Roma language and culture. virtual.finland.fi /netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=26474   (1896 words)

Nova Roma: Ludi Over the years more ludi were added because of the great popularity with the Roman people. The three main types of entertainment venues at the ludi were the circuses, the amphitheatres, and the theatre performances. Originally the ludi started as religious festivals, but over time the entertainment aspect grew to become more important than the religious observances. www.novaroma.org /ludi/html/history.html   (1450 words)

WCAR Cauces pages The housing estate is now nearly 100% Romani, and houses approximately 4000 people who all live in appalling conditions in which disease is rife, rats are evident, and electricity, heating and basic sanitation are unavailable entirely or for months at a time. We recommend the United Nations to establish, under its jurisdiction, a Permanent Rroma Forum, as a representative body of Roma experts, to be referred to for any issues related to the Roma situation in the world. We urge states "to acknowledge wrongs done during the Second World War to Roma communities by deportation and extermination", referring to which the Rroma name for their tragedy is „Porajmos", „and consider ways of compensating for them". www.icare.to /caucus/roma.html   (462 words)

Aedile The plebeian and curulian aediles were elected by the Comitia tributa, an assembly of the people that was divided into voting districts. However this may be, the aediles were recognized by the Senate as official magistrates after the reforms of the 360's, which found their expression in the Lex Furia de aedilibus. So it is possible that the first aediles were market superintendents, and as representatives of the merchants did not belong to the aristocracy, whence they had to side with the Plebs in the conflict of the orders. www.livius.org /ad-af/aedile/aedile.html   (444 words)

The Patrin Web Journal - The Trend to Minimize the Romani Holocaust Criteria for determining who had Romani ancestry were exactly twice as strict as those determining who was of Jewish descent; the fact that even Gypsy-like people were targeted demonstrates that the Nazis were taking no chances with the possibility of undetected Romani ancestry infecting German citizens. Romanies were never regarded as a political or economic or religious danger to the Third Reich, as were the Jews: individuals of mixed Romani and European ancestry posed the greatest threat, and it was solely a racial one. Lastly, the claim that the Nazis’ treatment of their Romani victims did not constitute genocide is bizarre to say the least (“The various deportations of Gypsies to the East and their deadly consequences do not constitute acts of genocide”- p. www.geocities.com /Paris/5121/lewy.htm   (2423 words)

A Glossary of Romani terms Ròmani             The English adjective (sometimes spelled Romany) for “Gypsy,” thus “the Romani people,” “the Romani language.”  The word is also used by itself to refer to the language (see also Romanes), and sometimes as a noun to mean a Romani person (“they are Romanies”).

Ensemble. The extra layer?. Robert Hugill was at Covent Garden's 'Il Turco in Italia' He is writing a new opera libretto and using the people in the opera as a subject matter, librettist Felice Romani sets up a curious dialogue between Prodoscimo and the other characters in Il Turco in Italia so that they seem to become aware that they are characters in an opera. This could lead into the territory covered by Pirandello in his play, 6 Characters in Search of an Author, and there is potential for a serio-comic production of the opera which could explore this. But Il Turco in Italia has an added extra layer which causes interest, the presence of the poet Prosdocimo. www.mvdaily.com /articles/2005/06/turco1.htm   (1582 words)

Manfri's Word List: Welsh Romani There are still a number of quite good Welsh Romany speakers around even today, but they all mix a certain amount of English and Welsh into their Romany, and their grammar is not as pure any more as that of the three people I have mentioned. This list of Welsh Romani words is taken from the book "In the Life of a Romany Gypsy" by Manfri Frederick Wood. The last three Welsh Romanies to speak the language perfectly without mixing any English or Welsh into it were Manfri, Howell and Jim Wood of Bala, Merioneth. www.geocities.com /Area51/Nova/1245/manfri.html   (527 words)
