4.9/5 (31366 ratings)

Description:In their own words, Gypsies and Travellers provide fascinating insights into their lives, from early in this century to the present day. These stories are personal histories and viewpoints reflecting the radical changes the Gypsy and Traveller communities have experienced. They tell how Gypsies and Travellers have lived and coped (and continue to do so) in extremely difficult circumstances. Whilst providing an insight into everyday life, the stories tell of both personal and cultural survival. They relate individuals' hopes and fears for the future, for themselves personally and for the Gypsy and Traveller way of life in general. They show some of the lighter aspects of life, highlighting Gypsies' and Travellers' resourcefulness and ingenuity. The collection both reflects and celebrates the diversity Gypsies and Travellers bring to English society and shows the communities' declaration of pride in their culture. Their stories provide an important written record, at a particular point in time. This contemporary record is important for younger generations of Gypsies and Travellers (and for those outside the communities) as a means of preserving a way of life which has lasted for many hundreds of years, and which will continue to adapt and survive.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
