Ian Hancock
Ian Hancock (Romani: Yanko le Redžosko; born 29 August 1942) is a linguist, Romani scholar, and political advocate. He was born and raised in England, and is one of the main contributors in the field of Romani studies.
He is director of the Program of Romani Studies and the Romani Archives and Documentation Center at The University of Texas at Austin, where he has been a professor of English, linguistics and Asian studies since 1972. He has represented the Romani people at the United Nations and served as a member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council under President Bill Clinton, who Hancock claims has Romani ancestry.〔Ian Hancock: ''We Are the Romani People (Ame Sam E Rromane Džene)'', Hertfordshire, Great Britain. University of Hertfordshire Press 2002. (Page 130 ).〕 He also represented the Romani people at the 1997 Rafto Prize award.
==Early life==
Hancock was born in London in 1942. His mother, Kitty, is Romanichal; his father, Reginald (Redžo), was part Romungro, the descendant of a Hungarian speaker of North Central Romani named Imre Benczi. He acquired the surname Hancock through Imre's daughter Maria, who married a member of an English West Country showman family of that name.
In the late 1960s, he became a Romani rights activist after reading reports about anti-Romani discrimination in Britain. In particular, he took up the cause of Romani rights after reading about an incident in which Romani children left unattended by their parents, who had been arrested, started a fire by knocking over a paraffin lamp.〔http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/linguistics/faculty/ianh〕 1971, he graduated with a PhD in linguistics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=What's in a Name?: Professor takes on roles of Romani activist and spokesperson to improve plight of his ethnic group )〕
