| Summary | Annotation "This volume collects interdisciplinary essays by leading scholars from Europe, the USA and Australia on Romany culture in past and present. Their common conviction is that the history of the representations and self-representations of Romany culture can be understood on a dramatic analogy - the role - as a series of intercultural negotiations between a Romany actor and a gadjo (non-Romany) author or audience (and vice versa). From these negotiations emerge images which are neither strictly Romany nor strictly gadjo, but unpredictably hybrid. The essays seek both to reconstruct those images and interrogate the roles they exemplify." "The Role of the Romanies will be of interest to students, researchers and general readers in Romany Studies, European Literary and Cultural History and Media Studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
