Me ra ne dore per here te pare duke gjurmuar libra e autore shqiptare ne Biblioteken Universitare e Kombetare te Zagrebit (Kroaci, 1980). Studiusja e zellshme, Antonia Young, e ka perfshire kete liber ne bibiografine pershkruese : ALBANIA ( faqe 52) Revised Edition Clio Press Oxford, England, Santa Barbara, California Denver, Colorado te botuar me 1997 ne serine e njohur: WORLD BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SERIES VOLUME 94 ISBN 1-85109-260-9 Ja teksti qe mban numrin e njesise bibliografike 182: DAUGHTER OF THE EAGLE: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN ALBANIAN GIRL. Nexhmie Zaimi. London: Blackie,1938. 244p. " This autobiography was written by the daughter of a well-to-do Muslim goverment official in Vlora. It contains interesting eye-witness accounts of the successful armed struggle to drive the Italian occupying forces from Vlora in 1920, and of the life of the nomadic Vlachs. The spectre of disease and premature death is never far away, even from affluent families like Zaimis. The most gripping part of the story tells of the girl's victorious struggle to go to high school, resist the veil, escape an arranged marriage and finally emigrate to the freer atmosphere of America. The story provides an excellent background to the study of Albania just before the Second World War."

Make a link of this website on your webpages please. Welcome to the web site of the Albanian American Civic League. The Civic was founded by former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi and a board of Albanian Americans in 1989 and is the the only registered lobby in Washington, DC, representing the concerns and interests of the Albanian people. The purpose of the Civic League is to further the human rights and the national cause of the divided nation of more than seven million Albanians living side by side in the Balkans in Albania, Kosova, western Macedonia, southeastern Montenegro, Presheve, Medvegje, Bujanovc (southern Serbia), and Chameria (northern Greece). By bringing the political perspectives of 400.000 Albanian Americans to the US Government, the civic League works to end the repression and oppression of Albanians living under hostile Slavic Communist regimes in the Balkans and to preserve the culture, identity and human rights of Albanians throughout the world. Help Kosova Defend Itself 300.000+ DEAD CIVILIANS. 3 MILLION+ REFUGEES. 1000+ VILLAGES AND TOWNS BURNED. RAPE CAMPS, CHEMICAL WEAPONS USE. ORGANIZED MASSACRE AND TORTURE. NATO AND EUROPE DESTAILIZED Brought to you by Slobodan Milosevic, since 1987*. *the year he rose in power by brutally stripping away the autonomous status and rights of the Albanian majority that has lived in KOSOVA for thousands of years.* NATO has finally answered the Butcher of Belgrade in the only language he knows: force. But Serbian President has intensified its capaign of mass execution and bombing of defenseless civilians so it is clearly foolish to demand that Kosovar Albanians live under the rule of this maniac. Most millitary analysts think air power alone won't stop the Serb killing machine, but America is concerned about the lives of the American soldiers. So what's the solution? Ushtrian ?lirimtare e Kosoves (KOSOVA LIBERATION ARMY) are already on the ground and respect the human rights of all, including Serbs> They're willing and able to fight for freedom and safety, but they need the tools to protect themselves and their families. As in Bosnia, Serb troops are most deadly when slaughtering unarmed civilians. As in Bosnia, Milosevic only responded to a NATO led by America. As in Bosnia, providing weapons and training to the KLA would support NATO objectives at small financial cost without putting American lives in jeopardy. We need to tell Washington that the defenders of life and liberty in KOSOVA, are the KLA, and that genocide can be stopped if NATO helps Kosova defend itself.

Dipped in rainbow colors, her eyebrows, Rows of pink and white irises To her lush lips: just-blossomed red roses. I can see the map of ancient Illyria In her Adriatic Sea blue dreamy eyes And her hair, forsythia yellow, gliding like Sunrays in motion, touching the wind. Mesmerized, I am staring at my flowering Albania, while she smiles at me. I can still see her curves, dressed in forest green Beneath the layers of snow-covered pine trees. I love the way she moves her delicate body And whenever I look at her I feel I am in a gallery Filled with priceless and timeless masterpieces. I adore her courage, nobility and dignity And whenever I am near her I feel happy. I feel like I am a song coming out of her mouth-- Her presence electrifies me and I am in love! I can feel my heart pounding while I am growing Wings and I am ready to fly like an eagle and Embrace my breathtakingly beautiful, blonde Albania.
