Shpresohet q\u00eb ky Festival i Librit Shqip i k\u00ebtij lloji, t\u00eb sh\u00ebnoj\u00eb edhe fillimin e nj\u00eb tradite dhe trash\u00ebgimie kulturoro-letrare p\u00ebr brezat e ardh\u00ebsh\u00ebm t\u00eb komunitettit shqiptaro-amerikan dhe m\u00eb gj\u00ebr\u00eb. Nj\u00eb ur\u00eb midis brezash, si t\u00eb thuash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por edhe nj\u00eb tradit\u00eb q\u00eb do t\u00eb mbart shpirtin, kujtes\u00ebn dhe t\u00eb ruaj identitetin e popullit shqiptar p\u00ebrgjat\u00eb shekujve, t\u00eb atij populli t\u00eb \u201cgjakut t\u00eb shprishur\u201d, i shp\u00ebrndar n\u00ebp\u00ebr kontinente, p\u00ebrfshir Shtetet e Bashkuara t\u00eb Amerik\u00ebs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por mund t\u00eb thuhet lirsh\u00ebm se kjo nism\u00eb, n\u00eb forma t\u00eb tjera, i ka rr\u00ebnj\u00ebt n\u00eb historin\u00eb e hershme t\u00eb fillim shekullit t\u00eb kaluar t\u00eb emigrimit t\u00eb shqiptar\u00ebve n\u00eb k\u00ebto brigje t\u00eb Atlantikut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prandaj, sot, n\u00ebn rrethana shum\u00eb m\u00eb t\u00eb volitshme dhe me mund\u00ebsi p\u00ebr nj\u00eb pjes\u00ebmarrje pothuaj mbar\u00eb komb\u00ebtare, \u00ebsht\u00eb nder dhe privilegj i ve\u00e7ant q\u00eb mblidhemi k\u00ebtu sot p\u00ebr t\u00eb festuar librat, autor\u00ebt dhe udh\u00ebtimin e gjat\u00eb t\u00eb letrave shqipe — dhe zvillimit t\u00eb kultur\u00ebs shqiptare n\u00eb Shtetet e Bashkuara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cbsht\u00eb pra, nj\u00eb rrug\u00ebtim q\u00eb mund t\u00eb ket\u00eb filluar m\u00eb shum\u00eb se nj\u00eb shekull m\u00eb par\u00eb, kur emigrant\u00ebt e par\u00eb shqiptar\u00eb mb\u00ebrrit\u00ebn n\u00eb k\u00ebto brigje. Ishte nj\u00eb koh\u00eb kur ata erdh\u00ebn n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb vend t\u00eb madh — p\u00ebrve\u00e7 shpresave p\u00ebr nj\u00eb jet\u00eb m\u00eb t\u00eb mir\u00eb p\u00ebr veten e familjet e tyre \u2013 edhe me d\u00ebshir\u00ebn e madhe p\u00ebr t\u00eb ruajtur dhe kultivuar gjuh\u00ebn shqipe, n\u00ebn rrethana m\u00eb t\u00eb p\u00ebtshtatshme — nga vendlindja — q\u00eb ofronte liria dhe demokracia amerikane, n\u00eb krahasim me vendlindjen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kryesisht n\u00eb Boston dhe Nju Jork, filluan t\u00eb botoheshin broshurat e para shqipe, tekste fetare e t\u00eb tjera. Botime shum\u00eb modeste – disa jo m\u00eb t\u00eb m\u00ebdha se nj\u00eb fletore xhepi – u b\u00ebn\u00eb librat e par\u00eb shqip t\u00eb shtypur ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb n\u00eb tok\u00ebn amerikane, por jo vet\u00ebm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shum\u00eb shpejt, Bostoni u rrit si q\u00ebnd\u00ebr e botimeve shqiptaro-amerikane. Atje, individ\u00eb si Sotir Peci shtyp\u00ebn abetaret e hershme, duke ndihmuar nj\u00eb brez emigrant\u00ebsh t\u00eb m\u00ebsonin dhe t\u00eb ruanin gjuh\u00ebn shqipe. Dhe n\u00eb vitin historik 1909, u themelua Gazeta historike Dielli – nj\u00eb pishtar i vet\u00ebdijes komb\u00ebtare dhe gazeta m\u00eb e vjet\u00ebr shqip (n\u00eb bot\u00eb) q\u00eb \u00ebsht\u00eb ende n\u00eb qarkullim, sot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por ishte ardhja e Fan Nolit n\u00eb Amerik\u00eb, momenti q\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00eb i dha hov zhvillimit t\u00eb botimeve me r\u00ebnd\u00ebsi historike dhe liturgjike e t\u00eb tjera, n\u00eb gjuh\u00ebn shqipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuk dua t\u00eb futem n\u00eb histori, por t\u00eb gjith\u00eb jemi n\u00eb dijeni se nga shtypshkronja e tij e vog\u00ebl n\u00eb Boston, Noli i Vatr\u00ebs botoi disa nga librat m\u00eb t\u00eb hersh\u00ebm, t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsish\u00ebm shqip, n\u00eb Shtetet e Bashkuara. Ai p\u00ebrktheu dhe botoi tekste liturgjike p\u00ebr Kish\u00ebn Ortodokse Shqiptare, nd\u00ebrkoh\u00eb q\u00eb u prezantoi lexuesve shqiptar\u00eb let\u00ebrsin\u00eb bot\u00ebrore dhe – m\u00eb e r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishmja \u2013 i dha Kombit nj\u00eb nga veprat e para t\u00eb m\u00ebdha historike, t\u00eb botuara n\u00eb Amerik\u00eb: Historia e Sk\u00ebnderbeut, e shtypur n\u00eb vitin 1921.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Po i p\u00ebrmend k\u00ebto, q\u00ebllimisht, jo vet\u00ebm p\u00ebr t\u00eb pasqyruar k\u00ebto p\u00ebrpjekjet t\u00eb hershme t\u00eb emigrant\u00ebve t\u00eb par\u00eb shqiptar\u00eb n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb vend, por edhe p\u00ebr t\u00eb pohuar di\u00e7ka m\u00eb t\u00eb fuqishme \u2013 nj\u00eb porosi dometh\u00ebnse prej tyre!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se as at\u00ebher\u00eb, as sot n\u00eb Amerik\u00eb, gjuha dhe kultura nuk mbahen n\u00eb valixhe \u2013 por ato ruhen dhe u kalohen brezave nep\u00ebrmjet librave. Nj\u00eb ide dhe nism\u00eb q\u00eb i jep k\u00ebtij organizimi sot nj\u00eb dometh\u00ebnie dhe r\u00ebnd\u00ebsi historike, jo vet\u00ebm n\u00eb mbrojtje, por edhe n\u00eb zhvillimin e gjuh\u00ebs dhe kultur\u00ebs shqiptare n\u00eb komunitetin shqiptaro-amerikan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
