Enterradme de Pie

Among the demographic minorities that expose the inherent contradiction within societies with an ethnocentric ideology, the gypsies are the most well known, not only due to literary clichs but also due to the prejudices that have been used to characterise a group of people that have been forced to into a nomadic lifestyle and turned into the scapegoats to blame for shortage. Isabel Fonseca dedicated 4 years between 1991 and 1995 to travel ex-communist countries to live in various gypsy communities. A hidden world, scorned yet secret, persecuted yet unknown. (Salman Rushdie).
