  • Gypsy Identities 1500-2000by David Mayall

  • The Gypsies of Early Modern Spain 1425-1783by Richard J. Pym

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2007; US$ 90.00

    Offers a study in English of the first three and a half centuries in Spain of a people, its gypsies or gitanos, who, despite their elevation by Spaniards and non-Spaniards alike to culturally iconic status in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have remained largely invisible to history in the English-speaking world. more...

  • The Role of the Romaniesby Nicholas Saul; Susan Tebutt

    Liverpool University Press 2004; US$ 80.00

    Since their arrival in Europe at the beginning of the eleventh century, the ‘Gypsies’ have stimulated and fascinated the European imagination, but have also always been perceived as ‘other’ and marginalised. This title is split into four parts and seeks to address the questions raised by the ambivalent encounter of the ‘Gypsies’ with European cultures. The volume begins with three chapters about the genesis, development and scope of Romany Studies. Constructions of Romany culture and identity are at the heart of the second part. Part three focuses on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary constructions of Romany identity, be it from a gadzo or Romany perspective. The final part tackles the question of how the... more...

  • Minority Rights Protection in International Lawby Helen O?Nions

    Ashgate Publishing Ltd 2007; US$ 124.95

    Despite forming Europe's largest non-territorial minority, the Roma continue to experience routine discrimination and marginalization. This book examines the theoretical debate concerning the most appropriate way of protecting the Roma's fundamental human rights, which also illuminates ways in which the rights of other minority groups can be protected. more...

  • Vorüberlegungen, Aufbau und Analyse von Interviews mit Angehörigen der deutschen Minderheit der Sinti und Romaby Patrick Kraemer

    Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 46.11

    Die Geschichte der kleinsten deutschen Minderheiten, der Sinti und Roma, ist eine Geschichte der Verfolgung, Vertreibung und Vernichtung. Die stereotypen Vorurteile, die sich in der Semantik des "Zigeunerbegriffes" manifestieren und die denen sich die Angehörigen der Minderheit tagtäglich stellen müssen, verbunden mit der Konstruktion des Fremden, hält die Minderheit im Verständnis der Mehrheitsgesellschaft außerhalb der "Wir-Zugehörigkeit". In einer Zeit, in der die Integration von Minderheiten in Deutschland, ob nun ethnisch oder religiös behaftet, zunehmend ein Thema werden wird, wäre es ratsam sich der Fehler der Vergangenheit anzunehmen und eine Integration voranzutreiben, die nicht mehr mit Assimilation gleichgesetzt wird. Wichtig wird... more...

  • The Roma Struggle for Compensation in Post-War Germanyby Julia von dem Knesebeck

    University Of Hertfordshire Press 2011; US$ 31.99

    Thirty years passed before it was accepted—in West Germany and elsewhere—that the Roma (Gypsies) of Germany had been Holocaust victims. Drawing upon a substantial body of previously unseen sources, this record examines the history of the Roma struggle for recognition as racially persecuted victims of National Socialism in postwar Germany. Looking at West Germany in the period between the end of the war and the beginning of the Roma civil rights movement in the early 1980s, this authoritative analysis demonstrates how pejorative attitudes continued unchallenged and how compensation was eventually achieved. more...

  • Danger! Educated Gypsyby Ian Hancock; Dileep Karanth

    University Of Hertfordshire Press 2010; US$ 23.99

    Penned by a noted Gypsy scholar, this collection of writings examines Romani history, culture, language, and politics and covers topics that range from responses to the Romani Holocaust and Romani religion to anti-Gypsy racism and oppression. Giving a voice to an often misunderstood community, this record includes personal stories, persuasive research, heartfelt criticisms, and sincere advice. Informative and dynamic, this volume strives to debunk the myths and prejudices surrounding the Roma and to examine how Romani identity has been formed in the course of their long history. more...

  • All Change!by Damian Le Bas; Thomas Acton

    University Of Hertfordshire Press 2010; US$ 14.99

    Offering new perspectives on the Romani experience, this volume investigates the culture’s origins, history, and identity. Written by leading Romani scholars, this authoritative account considers various topics, including how linguistics has clarified the origins of the Roma, how Gypsies have been classified in Russian research, and how the history of the Gypsy diaspora has shaped Romani culture. Arguing for the exploration of personal and family histories, this study delves into the newly emergent Romani academic community and takes heed of its reflections and reassessments of previous ideas surrounding Romani life. more...

  • Insiders, Outsiders and Othersby Kalwant Bhopal; Martin Myers

    University Of Hertfordshire Press 2008; US$ 23.99

    Examining the contributing factors in the shaping of Gypsy identity in the United Kingdom, this study evaluates both recent and historic tendencies that now misrepresent or overlook Gypsy culture. From examining the implications of skin color to demystifying the often confused history of nomadic settlements, this resource presents an insightful and important look into the identity, and perceptions of that identity, within Gypsy culture. more...
