Formal and informal teaching of Porajmos – the Roma and Sinti ‘Holocaust’
Since the turn of the century, the various forms of anti-Gypsyism across Europe and around the world have expanded. They have manifested themselves in political, economic, educational, and the ever

The Neglected Memory of the Romanies in the Holocaust/Porrajmos
The Nazi Genocide of the Roma: Reassessment and Commemoration , edited by Anton Weiss-Wendt
The Nazi Genocide of Roma: Reassessment and Commemoration, edited by Anton Weiss-Wendt. New York & Oxford, Berghahn Books, 2013. 284 pp. $120.00 US (cloth), $34.95 US (paper). An earlier book edited by Anton Weiss-Wendt was Murder Without Hatred: Estonians and Holocaust (Syracuse, 2009), but he omits H-word from title under review here, referring instead to Romani Genocide. This was considered move; there are still number of Holocaust scholars wh…
Scots English and the English-lexifier creole relativizer we
We ( wey, whey, way ) as relativizer occurs in the English-lexifier creoles on both sides of the Atlantic, and has been assumed to originate in English what (e.g. by Cassidy and Le Page 1967: 459). Instances of this word as a relativizer in English, however, date only from the beginning of the 19th century — too late by over a century to have provided the widespread creole form. This essay examines alternative possibilities for its origin, and co…

The Romani People: A Long Surviving and Distinguished Culture at Risk
ing the Romani people, commonly referred to as Gypsies, and their laws. My review will initially concentrate on the jurisprudential significance of oral legal traditions as illustrated by Romaniya, the law of the Roma. I will then discuss Hancock's listings of famous persons who have a rumored or established Romani ancestry. In conclusion I suggest that a nonconforming culture is in danger of being marginalized. A label of criminality may be atta…

‘Rhodesians Never Die’: The Impact of War and Political Change on White Rhodesia, c.1970–1980
This book tells the story of how White Rhodesians, three-quarters of whom were ill-prepared for revolutionary change, reacted to the ‘terrorist’ war and the onset of Black rule in the 1970s. It shows how internal divisions — both old and new — undermined the supposed unity of White Rhodesia, how most Rhodesians begrudgingly accepted the inevitability of Black majority rule without adjusting to its implications, and how the self-appointed defender…

The roots of inequity: Romani cultural rights in their historical and social context
My premise in this article is a simple one: first, that the liberty to maintain one's cultural behaviour is dependent upon one's civil liberties; and second, while not all legal rights are civil, all civil rights are nevertheless legal. Furthermore, if we are to deal with the situation effectively, we must address it not only as a cultural or civil or legal issue, but as one having far‐reaching political ramifications as well

Gullah and Barbadian. Origins and Relationships
GULLAH, with its offshoot Afro-Seminole (Hancock 1977), is the only English-derived creole to have survived within the continental United States. Of all the western-hemisphere anglo-creoles, Gullah is the least satisfactorily accounted for in its relationships both to other such languages and to the varieties of black vernacular English spoken in the United States, with which it is often linked (Hancock 1979). Too few treatments of the subject ha…

The Acquisition of English by American Romani Children
There are probably over one million Rom (”Gypsies”) in the United States and Canada, the majority of whom maintain the ancestral language (Romanés) and culture (Romania) which had their origins in north central India over a millenium ago. The history of Rom in North America may be traced from the sixteenth century, when Gypsy slaves were transported from Britain. The greatest influx, however, took place during the last half of the nineteenth cent…
