The Roma are Europe's largest minority, and yet they remain one of
the most misunderstood and underrepresented. Scholarship on the
Roma in German-speaking countries has focused mostly on the
portrayal of "Zigeuner/Gypsies" in literature by non-Roma and on
persecution during the Nazi period. Rarely have scholars examined
the actual voices of Roma to glean their perspectives on their
social interactions and customs. Without such studies the Roma
appear passive in the face of their long and troubled history. With
a basis in theories of intersectionality, subalternity, and
cultural hybridity, Roma Voices in the German-Speaking World
rectifies this image of passivity by analyzing autobiographies,
folktales, and novels by Roma, thereby promoting a better
understanding of the multifaceted and multifarious cultures alive
today in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In documenting their
voices, Roma writers unveil the large extent to which their
personal lives, their social interactions with other Roma and
non-Roma, and the images they project of their values and
traditions are highly influenced by gender and ethnicity.
