Book: The Gypsies The Gypsies is a millennial compendium of persecution...This sprawls over the globe and over time, but Fraser has managed to compress a huge amount of source material as well as providing a readable and up-to-date digest of a scattered store of scholarship.
Since their unexplained appearance in Europe over nine centuries ago, the Gypsies have refused to fall in with conventional settled life. They remain a people whose culture and customs are beset with misunderstanding, and who cling to their distinct identity in the teeth of persistent rejection and pressure to conform. This book describes their history.
