Bury Me Standing - Isabel Fonseca
Gypsies - or the Romany - have always intrigued and fascinated - partly because of their mysterious origins (now known to be India), and partly because of the romance of nomadism. But because they resist assimilation, having survived as a distinct people for over a thousand years, they have also been the victims of other people's nationalism and xenophobia.
In this fascinating and timely study, Fonseca focuses particularly on the Romany of Eastern Europe (an estimated 6 million), and their future as a distinct people. While researching the book, Fonseca learned Romany, becoming deeply involved with their lives. The result is a colourful and frank book, filled with enthusiasm and curiosity.
