Description
The Roma (or gypsies) of Central and Eastern Europe have recently emerged from virtual obscurity into the glare of the international media as large numbers sought asylum in the West. This important new study by leading researchers examines the contemporary predicament of Roma in the countries of the former Communist bloc, where the vast majority still live, and includes the first detailed assessment of the significance of the Fifth World Romani Contress in Prague at which delegates voted for the establishment of a Romani nation, a nation without a country.
