The Gypsy is traditionally portrayed as a black-eyed, tousle-haired
savage from a distant land who makes a living by deceit and
parasitism on the host society. This book critically examines the
nature and source of such stereotypes, locating the image of the
wild but often romantic Romany in various works of fiction and the
writings of lorists and gypsiologists, fascinated by the need to
classify, categorize and describe. The author reveals the
inadequacies of the racial construct, and replaces it with a
definition that allows for the coming together and coexistence of
indigenous itinerants and the original, foreign immigrants. A
picture emerges of a distinctive group living on the fringes of
industrialized society and economy, but necessarily involved in a
close economic relationship with the settled community.
