Abstract: "Since 2009, Swedish photographer Åke Ericson has been documenting the everyday lives of Roma people across Europe. The term 'Non Grata', Latin for 'undesirable' or 'not welcome' is a reference to the discrimination and intolerance many Roma endure in the present day. In Non Grata, Ericson has created an intimate portrait of Europe's most persecuted minority. Photographing across France, Serbia, Kosovo, Romania, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Spain and Switzerland, Ericson illuminates the often-harsh living conditions and transient lifestyle of a displaced community." -- book jacket.
