Sono rom e ne sono fiera. Dalle baracche romane alla Sorbona
Italiano · Tascabile
Descrizione
Anina ha 26 anni, ed è rom. Oggi studia alla Sorbona per diventare magistrato. Prima di riuscirci però ha conosciuto i terribili viaggi per migrare dalla Romania, gli squallidi campi nomadi italiani, la miseria, la necessità di chiedere l'elemosina per strada, gli insulti dei passanti e poi dei compagni di classe. In questo libro intenso e coinvolgente - che in Francia ha venduto oltre diecimila copie - trova il coraggio di raccontare la sua storia in prima persona. Ha sette anni quando la sua famiglia scappa dalla Romania per raggiungere l'Occidente attraverso un viaggio tanto costoso quanto drammatico. In Italia si ritrova nella baraccopoli Castrino 900 in cui trascorre mesi di soprusi e umiliazioni. Tra mille peripezie fugge poi con la famiglia verso la Francia dove, dopo alcuni mesi vissuti in un furgone, grazie all'aiuto di due donne gli assegnano un appartamento. Dopo un periodo di clandestinità, i suoi genitori ottengono il permesso di soggiorno e di conseguenza un lavoro regolare che consente loro di far studiare i propri figli. Fino all'arrivo di Anina alla Sorbona. Anina ha mantenuto le sue radici, parla il romani, cucina secondo la tradizione familiare. Ma si considera anche francese e rumena ed è orgogliosa di esserlo. E probabilmente la prima ragazza rom ad entrare nella prestigiosa università parigina, eppure non si considera un personaggio straordinario. E semplicemente una ragazza rom che ha saputo e voluto cogliere un'opportunità. Ciò che dovrebbe sembrare straordinario della storia che ci racconta è invece la violenza che viene perpetuata verso un intero popolo per il solo fatto di essere rom. E che costringe ogni bambino a vergognarsi fin dalla nascita. «No, non sono nata mendicante - scrive Anina - Sono le politiche che si sono succedute ad avermi resa tale, come potrebbero farlo con ognuno di voi». Un'autobiografia che cambia il punto di vista con cui si è abituati a guardare la realtà e permette di superare qualsiasi pregiudizio razzista. Lanciando un messaggio di speranza allo stesso popolo rom.
Sommario
Introduction
Chapter 1: Growing Your Operation—How Big Do You Want to Get?
More info on professional business planning, working with banks and USDA loan agencies, USDA programs for beginner agriculture
De-emphasis on honey production due to increased competition with foreign honey and smaller returns. Meanwhile focusing on how to grow margins on local honey when volume is lower.
Enhanced chapter for better moneymaking. Far less basic beekeeping info, more focus on having the right bees, timing, and methods. Keeping bees is easier if you’re not making honey, so this is a new shift. Updating electronic monitoring equipment and cloud storage options, but more important is not the how but the why: economics, labor, speed.
Writing contracts, equipment needed, understanding pesticides, partnering with other beekeepers and pollination brokers, moving to staging yards, protection/nutrition in staging yards, working with growers on providing forage, and how to calculate your fee.
Chapter 6: Wintering Your Bees
Wintering indoors has become more popular and efficient and may no longer require building a separate structure—rather than moving bees to southern climates. Traditional wintering outside is also covered.

Info autore
Kim Flottum brings a background of more than a decade of plant science, honey bee research, and basic farming to his thirty years as the editor of Bee Culture magazine where his main occupation is finding the answers to the multitude of questions that beginning, intermediate, and even advanced and experienced beekeepers bring to the table. He teaches beginning and advanced beekeeping courses, travels extensively to educate and lecture, and contributes to a variety of other publications on the basics of honey bees and beekeeping biology, the business of bees and pollination, producing and using varietal honeys, and a host of other subjects. His books, magazine articles, interviews, and blogs are widely read for both their fundamental and advanced contribution to beekeeping knowledge. His magazine platform gives voice to his social commentary on topics ranging from genetically modified foods to pesticide abuse to both good and bad government regulations in the industry. He is beekeeping's leading advocate for fundamental honey bee safety including insuring excellent honey bee health, providing extraordinary forage, and minimizing the use of agricultural pesticides.
