Romanians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Romanian Catholics are present in Transylvania, Bucharest, and parts of Moldavia, belonging to both the Eastern Rite (Romanian Catholic Church) and the Roman Rite (Roman Catholic Church). The Romanians (Romanian: românii), or the Romanian people, are a nation in the meaning an ethnos (in Romanian: popor), defined more by a sense of sharing a common Romanian culture and having a Romanian mother tongue, than by citizenship or by being subjects to any particular country. The Romanians (români in present-day Romanian and rumâni in historical contexts) are an ethnic group; they are the majority inhabitants of Romania and of Moldova (where they are also called Moldovans); each of these countries also have other significant ethnic minorities, and the Romanians constitute an ethnic minority in several nearby countries. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Romanians   (2430 words)

Romanian Club That is why the examination of translations (actually what the journalists and writers of the times chose from American literature) provides valuable information on the features of America that seemed most appealing to Romanians as well as on the authentic way in which they "imagined" this remote other. As a result of three turning-points in its modern history (the unification of the Romanian provinces in 1859, the rapid shift from a quasi-feudal society to a modern monarchy, the Independence War in 1877/78), Romanian culture vacillated between the imitation of foreign models and original manifestations. Like the "American" in the story, they were very little understood because of their somehow "marginal" language and, like him, they had to use French as a lingua franca if they wanted to be part of the European discourse. www.columbia.edu /cu/romanian/article_america.html   (3783 words)

Romanian-American Network, Inc. That is the reason why the Romanian people appeared and asserted themselves as a medieval nation north of the Danube and in Dobrudja, whereas in the south, in the Balkans, smaller groups of Aromanians (or Macedo- Romanians), Megleno-Romanians and Istro-Romanians survived. That is the reason why many historians and linguists have considered the Romanians to be a “miracle” and an “enigma,” not so much for the way in which they came into being, but mostly because of their survival as a Romance People in a “Slavic sea,” in the way of migratory invader waves. The Romanians are a synthesis of two ethnic elements, namely the native Thraco-Geto-Dacians and the Roman conquerors, of which the latter element was also the stronger and consequently triumphed. www.ro-am.net /index.php?page=ro-history   (5096 words)

MELUS: Andrei Codrescu's Mioritic Space - Romanian born American writer Her migration defines the space of the people, a space the Romanian poet Lucian Blaga called `mioritic.' Mioritza herself is the moving border of the nation, a storytelling border whose story is borderless and cosmic. These critics suggest that it may even account for the tendency of the Romanian people to suffer oppression passively: "one 'cause' of the seeming passivity of the Romanian population may be the fatalistic Weltanschaaung implicit in the Miorita" (Kligman 356). In the Romanian folk poem Miorita, a shepherd boy is warned by his beloved ewe, Miorita, that his fellow shepherds plan to murder him and take his flock. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2278/is_3_23/ai_54925295   (1016 words)

Romanian-American Symposium on Interethnic Relations Berendei said he had the feeling "that Romanians are being forced to abandon their identity." Rogers Brubaker pointed out the difference that exists between multi-ethnic societies and multi-ethnic states, noting that the goal of most central authorities in supporting ethnic groups is not necessarily a multi-ethnic state but rather a less ethnic state. The Romanians took this to imply that they were not, despite their appreciable majority, entitled to play the leading role in the state. However, this proved not to be the case among the Romanians, who perceived themselves as one ethnic group in the midst of a struggle for basic rights with other ethnic groups, indicating a level of national insecurity reminiscent of that which existed in 1918. www.per-usa.org /rom_sym.htm   (4480 words)
