Jossy Mansur - Publications

Publications

As a writer, editor and translator Mansur has been variously involved in a number of publications over a 35 year period ranging from an English–Papiamentu dictionary to a History of Aruba to fascinating psychological historical romance and fiction to Aruban republications and Papiamento translations of classics of English and world literature such as Daniel Defoes Robinson Crusoe, Hans Chrisstian Andersen and Alexandre Dumas. While the quality of work varies publication to publication here, Mansur's eclectic interest provide another window of perhaps more psychological insight into the man. Rumored to make past liberal use of ghost writers and editors, Mansur's literary aspirations are undeniable but also a testament to both documenting both Aruban social and cultural history and keeping the linguistic aspirations of Papiemento alive through both linguistic editorial and translation work.
