I met lucky people : the story of the Romani Gypsies
Matras, Yaron, 1963-2015
Books, Manuscripts
Our images of 'Gypsies' are shaped by books, film, and often fantasy. Occasionally we hear news reports about the suspicions and tensions that surround encounters between Gypsies and their neighbours. Few of us have had an opportunity to get to know more about the culture, the history, and the aspirations of the Romani people. Yaron Matras is one of the few academics to have spent years working closely with Romani people, having travelled widely in Central and Eastern Europe, and speaks Romani fluently. In this work he gives a new perspective on the Romani and their relations with other nations.
