The Time of the Gypsies Paperback - 1998
by Michael Stewart
Until 1989 the official Communist policy in eastern Europe was to absorb Gypsies into the "ruling" working class. However, most Gypsies resisted assimilation. The core of this book, based on 18 months' observation of daily life in a Gypsy camp, describes the cultivation, celebration and reinvention of cultural difference and diversity by a people deemed by some as too stupid and uncivilized to have a "culture". A part of the Studies in the Ethnographic Imagination series. Bibliography. Photos.

The Time of the Gypsies is about the refusal of one group of Gypsiesthe Romto abandon their way of life and accept assimilation into the majority population. It is a story about the sources of cultural diversity in modern industrial society and about the fear and hatred that such social and cultural difference may give rise…
