Alexandru Nemoianu: „About the Romanian-American Culture“

Lately, a number of books, periodi­cals and individuals debated aspects regarding the Romanian-American culture in its entirety and in a number of details. A good portion of the opin­ions expressed were laudative, objec­tive and constructive. They tried to analyze the Romanian-American group and its culture, and to the best of the ability of the respective authors. they tried to assess the importance of our group and the significance of its cul­ture. On the other hand, a number of voices were very vehement and totally critical. It was said that the Roma­nian-American culture is a “periph­eral” phenomenon and that the culture activities of our group, especially the Romanian Radio Hours, the few Ro­manian TV Hours and almost of all, the periodicals published by our group, are “amateurish”, that they lack “pro­fessionalism” and that according to a “superior” and “sophisticated” pom: of view, they are almost an embarrass­ment. Such sorts of comments are obviously negative and detrimental and besides, they are inaccurate. At best. such comments try to promote a son of uncalled-for elitism and at worst, try to humiliate and misrepresent a very complex cultural phenomenon in its entirety. >>>>>Alexandru Nemoianu>>>>>
