Book: History Of Gypsy Identities This study locates debates over the origin of the Gypsies in their historical perspective. Starting with a consideration of the early modern description of Gypsies as Egyptians, land pirates and vagabonds, the volume goes on to examine the racial classification of the nineteenth century and the emergence of the ethnic Gypsy in the twentieth century.
