Written by a Romani (Gypsy), this introduction to Roma life, health,
food, culture, and society provides an insightful look at this despised
by mysterious minority originating in India. Extensively illustrated, it
looks at the people, their history since leaving India 1,000 years ago,
and their rejection and exclusion from society in the countries where
they settled. It offers candid advice on rejecting prejudices and
stereotypes and getting to know the Roma as individuals, with short
biographies of Roma in many different walks of life.
