    The status of Roma in Europe around 1992
  

*by L***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019*

Very well researched and insightful book.  There are moments that will make you cringe and want to scream at the world, "why is this allowed to happen?"  She is using a neutral journalist's voice to describe such things that can make your hair stand up.  The part about the Devouring (Holocaust of the Roma) is graphically and clearly described, including details about human experimentation.  It's not likely anyone can read this and be like "meh" because whatever you feel, it will be felt intensely.As a European I wasn't told these things.  My family also practices defensive forgetting.  It really helped me to understand why.  I'm grateful for the book and I won't stop reading about it.  Nobody should stop with one book on this subject.  There are quite a few now and I pray for the day when the Roma have the same rights as any other citizen of their country.My advice to those who are annoyed by Roma antics:  learn to laugh, buy them a beer and exchange some stories with them.  Treat them like the human beings they are.That moment she describes early on, where the elderly lady shows her a piece of paper with her son's phone number on it.  The paper is blank.  She couldn't have read it anyway, and there's no phone. If your heart doesn't break, you have no heart. I can't believe the author was strong enough to keep documenting after such things.  I wouldn't have been strong enough.Heartbreaking and in the end, hopeful.

    A New Book is Needed
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021*

This book was published in the early 1990s, shortly after the fall of Socialism. As such, much has changed in the countries the author visited. While Roma people are still facing persecution, much has changed for them as well.I've lived in the Czech Republic for a decade and a half and am witness to a younger generation of Czechs in the process of taking the reins of the country from an older one and the changes that has brought socially. I don't doubt Roma society has seen the same as their younger members make their influence felt.In the book, much is made of extremely strict hierarchies, both maternal and paternal, in Roma  society and the lack of flexibility they granted to younger Roma to explore society outside their own. It would be interesting to know just how much a factor this still is for Roma when it comes to how much they do or do not integrate into surrounding society.What becomes clear fairly early on in this book is that the author really didn't have a concrete plan for how she was going to approach the subject matter or what genre she wanted the finished book to fit into. The end result is a rather ambiguous book in its purpose and motivation.This ambiguity, together with an unclear organizational style, makes the book a difficult one to get into and stay engaged with.There is also an ignorance and naivety to the notion that a book about a culture so varied and dispersed as the Roma could possibly be effectively created by one author. The mobile nature of Roma culture saw the people travel far and wide through many cultures and be influenced by those various cultures. Any non-fiction book on the width and bredth of Roma culture would need to be written by several authors as a collected work.Ultimately, a new book is needed on this subject. Ideally that book will be a collective effort of several authors. Hopefully some of those authors will be Roma themselves.I can't really recommend this book if you want to know about Roma society in the here and now

    Sad Story of Vanquished People
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022*

Was surprised to learn that Gypsies have always been outcasts in virtually every country and seem to function on the fringes of society.  Originally, they came from India.  This particular story of immersion by a lady who wanted to know more was disturbing to me, but all true, I'm sure.  She met and stayed with Gypsies in many different countries.  Interesting, but sad.
