Vintage, 1996. Softcover. Very Good. 5x0x7. In Very Good+ condition. A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture. Fabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies—or Roma—are among the least understood people on earth. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness. In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals—the poet, the politician, the child prostitute—Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. She traces their exodus out of India 1,000 years ago and their astonishing history of persecution: enslaved by the princes of medieval Romania; massacred by the Nazis; forcibly assimilated by the communist regimes; evicted from their settlements in Eastern Europe, and most recently, in Western Europe as well. Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the Gypsies have always been with us—but never before have they been brought so vividly to life. Includes fifty black and white photos., Vintage, 1996, 3<

Usado, muy buen estado, [SC: 0.9], Vintage, USA, 1996. Texto en inglés. Historia. Sociología. Ensayo. 322 páginas con aprox. 50 fotografías b/n salpicando el texto. 20 x 13. Los gitanos siempre han intrigado y fascinado - en parte debido a sus orígenes misteriosos, y en parte por el romance del nomadismo - pero debido a que se resisten a la asimilación, habiendo sobrevivido como un pueblo distinto de más de mil años, sino que también han sido víctimas del nacionalismo y la xenofobia de los demás. En este fascinante y oportuno estudio, Fonseca se centra especialmente en los gitanos de Europa del Este (un estimado de 6 millones), y su futuro como una raza distinta dentro de una Europa nacionalista. Durante la investigación del libro, Fonseca aprendió Romaní y se quedó con los gitanos, convirtiéndose profundamente involucrándose en sus vidas, El resultado es un libro lleno de entusiasmo y curiosidad, sin caer en la piedad o el romanticismo. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Buen estado de conservación. Isbn: 9780679737438, [PU: Random House; Alfred A. Knopf]<
