The Boudican revolt (c. AD 60–1)

London was destroyed in AD 60/61 by British rebels following the Icenian queen, Boudica. This chapter describes the archaeological traces of fire destruction, and reviews the contribution that the archaeological study of London makes to our understanding of the date and course of the revolt. Arguments concerning London’s unusual status are reviewed, and it is suggested that the city remained under the close control of the governor and imperial procurator. The urban community was dominated by an immigrant community with tastes developed on the Rhineland frontier. The absence of any evidence for the involvement of a local land-owning elite in civic affairs is identified as an important peculiarity of political arrangements in London.

„Преходен“ език на юг от Екватора. Предефиниране на езика на българските емигранти в Австралия въз основа на предаването му между поколенията

A “Transitional” Language South of the Equator: Redefining the Language of Bulgarian Immigrants in Australia Based on Its Transmission Between GenerationsIn the terminological apparatus of sociolinguistics, there are many unambiguous and ambiguous concepts that refer to the non-first language of different social groups. In line with the new European tendency, Bulgarian sociolinguistics names the language of Bulgarian emigrants around the world using terms offered in the theoretical papers of famous authors or schools working in the field of sociolinguistic emigration. The text proposed here is an attempt to redefine all these concepts and summarize them into one which indicates the hereditary Bulgarian emigrant language that is characteristic of the language of the Bulgarian immigrant community in Australia. Język „przejściowy” na południe od równika. Redefinicja języka bułgarskich imigrantów w Australii na podstawie jego przekazu międzypokoleniowegoW aparacie terminologicznym socjolingwistyki istnieje wiele pojęć, zarówno jednoznacznych, jak i nie w pełni jednoznacznych, odnoszących się do języka niebędącego językiem prymarnym różnych grup społecznych. Zgodnie z najnowszymi tendencjami w nauce europejskiej bułgarska socjolingwistyka określa język bułgarskich emigrantów na całym świecie z wykorzystaniem terminów proponowanych w pracach teoretycznych znanych autorów lub szkół zajmujących się emigracją z punktu widzenia socjolingwistyki. Proponowany tekst stanowi próbę przedefiniowania wszystkich tych pojęć i sprowadzenia ich do ujęcia, w którym wskazuje się na dziedziczony przez emigrantów język bułgarski jako czynnik wyróżniający społeczność bułgarskich imigrantów w Australii od strony językowej.

Falsos amigos en rumano y español en titulares de la prensa rumana en línea de España

False Friends between Romanian and Spanish in the Headlines of the Online Romanian Journals in Spain. As they are historically related languages, Romanian and Spanish share more than two hundred false friends (for example: amar ≠ amar, but amargo; nervos ≠ nervioso, but enfadado; a se apropia ≠ apropiarse, but acercarse etc.). So far, few studies have been written related to this type of lexical phenomenon between Romanian and Spanish and most of them are linked to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. Until decades ago, Romanian and Spanish were not in direct contact, due to the location of the two countries at the margins of Europe, but since the massive immigration of Romanian to Spain in the 1990s, we can speak of direct contact and interference between these languages. I opted for the analysis of this type of phenomenon in the headlines of the Romanian press that is published online by and for the immigrant community who lives in Spain. I will investigate to what extent this aspect is reflected in the headlines which present the Romanian political, economic, social and cultural reality within a period of six months, between the 1st of July and 31st of December 2020. The newspapers which I will refer to are the following: ziarulromanesc.es, romanul.eu, periodicoelrumano.es, noiinspania.com and occidentul-romanesc.com. Keywords: false friends, Romanian, Spanish, online journals

The African Immigrant Dementia Education Project: A Community-University Partnership

The African Immigrant Dementia Education project is a community-university partnership with the goal of developing a culturally tailored dementia education program with African immigrants in Minnesota. In collaboration with our community partner (African Career, Education & Resource, Inc.), a project advisory board that features professionals and family members from the African immigrant community was assembled and its first meeting was held in February 2021. Preliminary discussions about content, mode of delivery and cultural considerations of an eventual dementia education intervention have begun. This presentation will offer details on the process of working with an advisory board and community partner to identify and culturally tailor an evidenced-based dementia education curriculum for a unique cultural group. Also, we will present challenges encountered during this process and offer suggestions and strategies to promote successful researcher-community partnerships.

Not Yet Uhuru: Aspects of Social Realism in Vonani Bila’s Selected Poetry

This article analyses Vonani Bila’s selected poetry for its ability to produce an ‘air of reality’. The central argument of the article is that Bila embraces an aesthetic of realism, which essentially values unsparing, accurate and sordid representations of the psychological, social and material realities of postcolonial (and democratic) South Africa. Undergirded by the Marxist theory of Social Realism, the qualitative approach and descriptive design, this article purposively selected ten poems from some of the anthologies in which Bila published his poetry, namely; Magicstan Fires, Handsome Jita and Sweep of the Violin. Bila’s poetry can best be situated within the historical contexts that shape his texts, namely; the apartheid era, ideas about capitalism in newly democratic South Africa, the emergence of a vibrant immigrant community in South Africa and idealised notions of achieving equality and prosperity through education in South Africa. This article is mainly a critical analysis, and not a historical account of the apartheid era and democratic dispensation of South Africa. In the analysis, it was noted that Bila’s poetry generally manifests the literary categories of social and psychological realism, respectively. As a social realist, Bila explores the problems of economic inequality and captures the experience of both rural and urban life in a post- and neo-colonial context of South Africa. As a psychological realist, on the other extreme, Bila is concerned with delving beneath the surface of social life to probe the complex motivations and (un)conscious desires that shape his literary personae’s perceptions. The article concludes with the notion that, in his commitment to document the realities of everyday life in South Africa, both at social and psychological dimensions, Bila offers a penetrating insight into the repression, alienation, marginalisation, instabilities, and inequalities that structure post- and neo-colonial South Africa.

New York Ogniwo in the Years 1879-1881

The article discusses the history of the Polish Ogniwo weekly published in New York in the years 1879-1881. The magazine was established during a major organisational transformation of the Polish diaspora in the United States. One of the most important initiatives of the then immigrant community in New York and beyond (including New Jersey) was to integrate the public of Polish origin in order to work toward the improvement of the financial and political position of Polish immigrants. This work was carried out by the Ogniwo weekly. Its editors tried to mobilise scattered economic immigrants to work towards building an ideologically aligned Polish-American community.

Los Angeles: The Capital of the Armenian Immigrant Community in the Twenty-First Century

This article is an introduction to the subject of Armenian Americans in Los Angeles, both within the broader context of the diaspora and a narrower one, presenting an analysis of the mutual relations between the Armenian community and the city. In the twenty-first century, Los Angeles has become home to the second largest urban population of Armenians in the world after Yerevan. It consists of three main groups: descendants of the first immigrants, refugees from the Middle East, and most recently, the so-called “Soviet” Armenians and immigrants from the Republic of Armenia. The construction of the Armenian Americans Museum will begin in the near future. The mission of the institution will be to document the experience of Armenian migration and to support the maintenance of ethnic identity among the next generations of the diaspora. In Glendale, an ethnoburb of Los Angeles, Armenian Americans make up 40 percent of the population. A significant proportion of the administrative decision-makers there come from the Armenian diaspora. The city is not only the informal second capital city for the Armenian global community, but also an incubator for its cultural project; in particular, it is a center of the Armenian music industry.

The Juramento: Secondary and Tertiary Preventive Benefits of a Religious-Based Brief Alcohol Intervention in the Mexican Immigrant Community

Our chapter addresses the prevention benefits of the juramento, a grassroots religious-based brief intervention for harmful drinking practiced in Mexico and the Mexican immigrant community in the United States. With origins in Mexican folk Catholicism, it is a sacred pledge made to Our Lady of Guadalupe to abstain from alcohol for a specific time period; in most cases, at least six months. We draw on our data from a subsample of 15 Mexican workers who made juramentos and two priests who administered the juramento to the workers. The sample is from a larger qualitative study on the use of the juramento among Mexican immigrant and migrant workers in southeastern Pennsylvania. Our findings reveal that, in addition to serving as an intervention, the juramento results in secondary prevention—by identifying a harmful drinking before the onset of heavy drinking—and tertiary prevention—by slowing or abating the progression of heavy drinking.
