Description: "In this fully updated edition, David M. Crowe provides an overview of the life, history, and culture of the Gypsies, or Roma, from their entrance into the region in the Middle Ages up until the present, drawing from previously untapped East European, Russian, and traditional sources. Crowe explores the virulent prejudice and mistreatment that has been so much a part of the Romani's tragic history and culminated in their losses during the Holocaust. He concludes with a look at the Roma today as they struggle to redefine their role in the world. With a new foreword by Andre Liebich, as well as a new conclusion and bibliography."--BOOK JACKET.
