Description
After the fall of communism, the Roma (Gypsies), Europe’s largest and poorest ethnic minority group began a civil rights movement. An American from small-town New England, Jud Nirenberg became one of the Romani movement’s key personalities, working for a fledgling Romani political party, running billionaire George Soros’ charitable support of the movement and working as the right hand to each of the movement’s most charismatic figures as they rose up, taking one another’s places in the dawn of Eastern Europe’s freedom.
Gypsy Movements, a novel closely based on Nirenberg’s own experience brings the reader inside a human rights struggle in new and shaky democracies, following Roma leaders from late-night parties in Budapest to the refugee camps where UN officials deny their guests news of home for fear of rioting. Here is the truth about flawed people aspiring toward the noblest goals.
The book includes essays and commentary from Romani thought leaders such as Valeriu Nicolae.
