Book Reviews of Gypsies: The Hidden Americans
Book Review: Anthropology of Gypsies
Summary: 3 Stars
This is definitely a used text book. Has a bit of underlining and a one color cover. It's pretty well written and interesting though perhaps a bit dry and technical. Not a book that a non-anthropologist would probably be interested in.
It's not an introductory level book, which is good. The problem with trade non-fiction is reading the same thing over and over again and never penetrating any deeper.
Summary of Gypsies: The Hidden Americans
The Gypsies portrayed in this book are the Vlax-speaking Rom, the largest group of Gypsies in the United States, numbering 500,000. Not officially recognized as a minority in the U.S. until 1972, Gypsies have led an almost entirely invisible existence here. Now in this fascinating work--the first complete account of American Gypsies--Sutherland has produced an in-depth look at the full range of everyday social life among the Rom. Separate, elusive, complex, and unique among the people of the world, Gypsies have preserved their traditional way of life. How have they avoided assimilation? What keeps them apart? How are they organized, and what do they believe? These and other important questions about these hidden Americans are addressed in Sutherland's contemporary study.Cultural Books
