An accessible history of the Roma people in England told from the
inside.
The Romany people have been variously portrayed as exotic strangers or
as crude, violent, delinquent "gypsies." For the first time, this book
describes the real history of the Romany in England from the inside.
Drawing on new archival and first-hand research, Jeremy Harte vividly
describes the itinerant life of the Romany as well as their artistic
traditions, unique language, and flamboyant ceremonies. Travelers
through Time tells the dramatic story of Romany life on the British
margins from Tudor times through today, filled with vivid insights into
the world of England's large Romany population.
