<p>Gypsies and Travllers in Britain are at a crisis point where the survival of their way of life into the new millennium is in doubt. This book describes the Gypsy and Traveller population in Britain as it is, as well as the stereotypes that abound and show how, although harassed as a minority, they have not, in practice, had the protection which the law should afford to minorities. Gypsies and Travellers are still on the verge of society. It discusses the legislation that has been brought in to control their movements and reviews their relationships with the police as well as local and central government agencies. Finally, it looks at the emerging interest the European organizations are taking in the nomad populations.</p>

Cultural Shakespeare: Essays in the Shakespeare Myth

<p>This unique collection of seminal works includes essays in literature, theatre, film/media and cultural studies, and is an indispensable resource for studies in the 'Shakespeare industry'. It brings together for the first time a definitive collection of Graham Holderness's writings on such topics as Shakespeare and national culture; the Shakespeare industry; the 'Shakespeare Myth'. These celebrated essays constitute a unique resource for the study of 'Shakespeare' as a cultural phenomenon or ideological apparatus, as distinct from Shakespeare the poet and playwright.</p>

Between Past and Future: The Roma of Central and Eastern Europe

The Roma (or Gypsies) of Central and Eastern Europe have recently emerged from virtual obscurity into the glare of the international media as large numbers sought asylum in the West. This important new study by leading researchers examines the contemporary predicament of Roma (Gypsies) in the countries of the former Communist bloc, where the vast majority still live and includes the first detailed assessment of the significance of the Fifth World Romani Congress in Prague at which the delegates voted for the establishment of a Romani nation, a nation without a country.
