Description:

Entre las minorias demograficas que senalan la contradiccion inherente a las sociedades de ideologia etnocentrica, la de los gitanos es la mas conocida, a traves de los cliches literarios, pero tambien por los prejuicios que se han utilizado para caracterizar a un colectivo que ha sido nomada forzoso y chivo expiatorio de carestias. Isabel Fonseca se dedico a recorrer entre 1991 y 1995 los paises ex comunistas para vivir en diversas comunidades gitanas, conocer sus problemas, su poesia tradicional, su concepcion de las cosas, teniendo siempre como referencia las grandes catastrofes, primero el nazismo, luego la dictadura comunista y, en el caso de la ex Yugoslavia, las guerras civiles. Los problemas se repiten en casi todas partes, porque el drama no es la integracion forzosa del marginado, sino la zona social en que se quiere que se integre. / 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 clichés 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).
