A compelling exploration into the rich and often misunderstood world of Romani culture. Published in 1995, Fonseca's work blends journalistic inquiry with personal narrative, offering a vivid portrayal of the Romani people's history, traditions, and contemporary challenges.

The book is enriched by Fonseca's immersive approach, where she embeds herself within Romani communities to uncover their stories firsthand. Her narrative is both empathetic and critical, shedding light on issues of marginalization and the Romani struggle for recognition and rights. [Adapted from Reviews]
