Drawn from traditional sources, this history explores the life,
history and culture of the gypsies, or Roma, from their arrival in
the Eastern European region in the Middle Ages until the present.
Their past reflects the diverse traditions of every part of Eastern
Europe and particularly Russia, where they have exerted a profound
influence on literary and musical elements. Balkan Roma were
affected by the region's Ottoman past, while Central European
gypsies were influenced by Habsburg traditions. Crowe also reviews
the tragic and virulent prejudice and mistreatment of gypsies,
epitomized by their losses during the Nazi holocaust. He concludes
by examining the rebirth of prejudice and the plight of the Roma as
they struggle to redefine their role in the new post-Communist
world.
