ROMA VOICES IN HISTORY. A Sourcebook. Volume Editors: Elena Marushiakova
and Vesselin Popov. #Brill#OpenAccess#Book 2021
"This ground-breaking book is an impressively extensive collection of primary historical sources in various languages that reflect the history of the Roma (formerly referred to as ‘Gypsies’ in local languages). The selection of the included materials reflects the authentic voice of the Roma themselves, and presents their visions and the specific goals pursued by the Roma civic emancipation movement. The source materials are published in original and translated in English, and are accompanied by explanatory notes and summarising comments discussing the specific historical realities and their interrelation to the Romani emancipatory movement in Central and Eastern Europe, thus presenting a comprehensive picture of the historical processes."
“The democratic memory also serves to repair the Roma people” by Sofía Pérez Mendoza #ElDiarioEs#Spain#Spanish
“The Government is going to approve a Memory Commission, foreseen in the law of 2022, which will give rise to measures of "truth, justice, and reparation" for this community, whose history is one of the most unknown. With the help of historians, we recover large and small episodes to fill in the gaps.”
Someone added a 1931 photo of Aladár Rácz to his EN Wikipedia article, I'd never seen it before. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen any photo of him from before he was already quite old and frail. One of my musical heroes and inspirations, a true elegant soul ! I went and followed the sourcing to this site https://fortepan.hu/ and found these other 2 photos; the site asks to credit the photo donor Ádám Bósze. #cimbalom#FolkMusic#Hungary#magyar#RomaPeople
