Meer over het boek

The new volume in the “Roma” series, edited by Hristo Kyuchukov and William New, celebrates the 75th anniversary of Prof. Dr. Ian Hancock. Initially a researcher of Creole languages, Hancock has significantly contributed to Romani studies, focusing on language, culture, history, and the Roma Holocaust. This collection features papers from established scholars and emerging researchers, both Roma and non-Roma, who have been influenced by Hancock's work over the last 45 years. The book addresses various topics relevant to Romani studies, appealing to readers from linguistics, history, education, and cultural studies. Contributions include Tamara Stanley's exploration of her Kalderash heritage, Jorge Bernal's insights into Romani studies, and William New's discussion of the “Gypsy” violin. Other notable papers cover subjects such as Romani coin names, the cultural context of early Romani-language work, and the complexities of identity and citizenship within the European Union. Additionally, the volume examines the education of Roma in Nazi Germany, early marriage among Romanies, and the linguistic ideologies of Roma mothers. This rich array of topics underscores the diversity and depth of Romani studies today. For full contents, see our webshop. ISBN 9783862888511. Roma 05. 392pp. 2017.
