An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book, designed
as a resource for scholars, educators, activists and non-specialist
readers, presents the results of new research on the role of Romani
groups in European culture and society since the nineteenth
century. Its specific focus is on the ways in which Romani actors,
in their interactions with non-Romanies, have contributed to
shaping Europe's public spaces. Twelve chapters recount the
experiences and accomplishments of individuals and families, from
across Europe (England, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Hungary,
Romania and Finland) and Canada. All based on new research, and
maintaining a focus on the real lives and activities of Romani
people rather than on the perspective of the majority societies,
these studies exemplify the creative presence of Romani people in
the fields of politics, economics and culture. We see them as
writers, artists and performers, political activists and resistance
fighters, traders and entrepreneurs, circus and cinema managers and
purveyors of popular science. Sensitive to the ambivalent position
from which Roma act, the cases are linked and contextualized by a
general introduction and by section introductions written by
leading scholars of Romani studies with expertise in history,
ethnography, musicology, literary and discourse studies and visual
culture. The volume is richly illustrated, including many images
that have never been published before, and includes an extensive
bibliography / guide to further reading. Contributors to the
volume: Begona Barrera, Beatriz Carrillo de los Reyes, Malte
Gasche, Pawel Lechowski, Anna G. Piotrowska, Laurence Prempain,
Juan Pro, Eve Rosenhaft, Carolina Garcia Sanz, Maria Sierra, and
Tamara West.
