Kial ni festas Robert Burns? Ĉu li ne estas simple unu plia “morta blanka viro”? Nu jes, sed ne en la senco, kiel tiu frazo estas ofte uzata, en la senco de prestiĝo kaj hegemonio, kiu indas, ke ni pretepasu ĝin.

Exposing Esperanto's hidden politics in the Zamenhof-era; and drawing lessons for Esperantists in the here and now

I recently spent several days attending to the English version of a biographical website about Ludocik Lejzer Zamenhof (Zamenhof.info). This started out quite simply as proofreading the original English translation, and making a few stylistic changes here and there. But as I worked my way through the site I found myself increasingly referring back to the original Esperanto, trying to make a better translation, and even adding completely new information.
