Romano Lavo-Lil: Word Book of the Romany; Or English Gypsy Language

George Borrow

Sinopse

In 'Romano Lavo-Lil: Word Book of the Romany; Or, English Gypsy Language', George Borrow embarks on a profound exploration of the Romani language and culture, providing an invaluable lexicon for understanding the rich linguistic tapestry of the Romany people. With meticulous attention to detail, Borrow employs an engagingly idiosyncratic style that blends folklore, ethnography, and linguistics, making the text both informative and accessible. This work is set against the backdrop of the 19th century, a time marked by increasing curiosity about marginalized cultures, positioning Borrow's scholarship as a pioneering effort in the representation of Gypsy language and identity in literature. George Borrow, an English writer and linguist born in 1803, developed a deep affinity for Romani culture during his travels across Europe, particularly spending time with Romani communities in England, Spain, and Romania. His experiences not only informed his linguistic pursuits but also fueled his passion for showcasing the dignity and complexity of the Romany people at a time when they were often misrepresented or misunderstood. Borrow's commitment to cultural preservation and examination of language is evident throughout his work. I highly recommend 'Romano Lavo-Lil' to scholars and enthusiasts of linguistics, cultural studies, and ethnography alike. This book not only serves as a crucial reference for the study of the Romani language but also invites readers to engage with the vibrant culture and rich history of the Romany people. Borrow's unique perspective and literary craftsmanship combine to make this work an essential addition to any serious library.

The Most Human Right - Why Free...

Eric Heinze

What are human rights? Are they laid out definitively in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the US Bill of Rights? Are they items on a checklist—dignity, justice, progress, standard of living, health care, housing? In  
The Most Human Right, Eric Heinze explains why global human rights systems have failed. International organizations constantly report on how governments manage human goods, such as fair trials, humane conditions of detention, health  
care, or housing. But to appease autocratic regimes, experts have ignored the primacy of free speech. Heinze argues that goods become rights only when citizens can claim them publicly and fearlessly: free speech is the fundamental  
right, without which the very concept of a “right” makes no sense. 
 
Heinze argues that throughout history countless systems of justice have promised human goods. What, then, makes human rights different? What must human rights have that other systems have lacked? Heinze revisits the origins of the  
concept, exploring what it means for a nation to protect human rights, and what a citizen needs in order to pursue them. He explains how free speech distinguishes human rights from other ideas about justice, past and present.
