Until 1989 the official Communist policy in eastern Europe was to absorb Gypsies into the "ruling" working class. However, most Gypsies resisted assimilation. The core of this book, based on 18 months' observation of daily life in a Gypsy camp, describes the cultivation, celebration and reinvention of cultural difference and diversity by a people deemed by some as too stupid and uncivilized to have a "culture". A part of the Studies in the Ethnographic Imagination series. Bibliography. Photos.
