The Different Gypsy Communities Around the World

Immigrants belonging to a specific country in diasporic conditions fluctuate between two identities and two different cultures. These two cultures are mentioned as donor and recipient. Therefore, a situation arises in almost all immigrants, mainly in those who have more prominent cultural distance between the donor and recipient country. Wherein a severe constitution takes place to the places of cultural identity and adaptation. This condition of riding two cultures concurrently leads to division not only on individuals but also communities in the host culture that causes social uncertainty and disorder. This occurs because most migrations are not intended, but required by socioeconomic fragmentation. Therefore, migrants do not try to make essential changes in their social-cultural assessment. They treat this migration as virtuously momentary. Thus, their continuous repetition of the cultural patterns and ethics carried with them from donor society and their unwillingness to absorb the recipient society cause conflicting conditions isolating them from the host

Many are confused about Gypsies and Travelers because in a lot of ways they are similar and in many ways they are different. In spite of the recent influx of work on Gypsies and Travellers, none of it even scratches the surface when it comes to the gypsies and travellers people. However, they both are a quiet group that not many even know about. Books like We Are the Romani People by Hancock explore these various groups and why they are such an intriguing people. Nonetheless, this edition excels in both scope and clarity, managing not only to present a fascinating and succinct introduction for novices to Gypsy and Traveller communities in United Sates and the differences that are between them.

Throughout the world there are many various religions, some very common to you and I. However, there are many religions that are common in several isolated places all around the world in Japan, Australia, and the Americas. Many of these religions, called Indigenous Religions are based on nature, and the earth. The practice of these religions is considered sacred to the people that follow them. Many of these indigenous people are fully sacrificed to their religion. They live their lives according to these religions and are fully indebted to them. The four major Indigenous Religions are Shinto, found in Japan, the Australian Aboriginal, African, and Native American.

‘Gypsy garbage,’ he laughs, and lifts me by my armpits onto a truck, I am held down with a board so that I don’t jump. ‘No,’ I say, “I am not a gypsy.” Everyone knows gypsies are rat-faces and cannibals. They don’t have a god. The soldier writes something on my forehead with ink. I see a black Z on the face of another girl.” (Small,118).

The article “Camping for Their Lives” the author did not provide enough points to prove his view that tent cities are the new form of informal urbanism and that housing like tents and shanties are a valuable solution for the increasing rate of homelessness in the country. The author also talks about the increasing population of people who live in so-called tent cities, and the controversies about the tent cities and how it did impact the community. This article shows the analyzation of the author’s technique used in article “Camping for Their Lives” with the use of strength and weakness evidence in the text.

The Romani have been portrayed in a negative manner in a number of films in the 20th century. Most of these films contain a number of stereotypes about about the Roma which fuels discrimination and fear of the Roma people. These stereotypes can be seen in mysticism, music and clothing. They are seen as evil conniving and frightening in films using magic and sorcery to hurt others. Or they are looked at as mysterious and intriguing. Certain films cast the Roma in a certain light, so the films in the early 20th century were much more stereotypical than more recent films. However there are exceptions to this general observation. Films such as Cry of the Werewolf and Thinner are much more stereotypical than Time of the Gypsies and The Crazy Stranger.

Gypsy was performed at Bridgewater State University in a production directed by Colleen Rua. Gypsy is a musical with book written by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical tells the story of Rose as she tries to get her Vaudevillian show consisting of her two young daughters, June and Louise, successful.

The Romani People commonly known as Roma, Gypsies or Travelers account for around 11 million people scattered across Europe today, mostly in the Eastern European states. They have been persecuted and discriminated against due to large cultural differences since their arrival to Europe. The post-1989 transition from communism in Eastern Europe created a huge ethnic underclass of Roma who by many measures such as political, social, and economic, have the lowest status of any ethnic group in Eastern Europe. This has led to large socioeconomic gaps between Roma and non-Roma people. Europe is finally starting to realize what a large problem this gap is causing and certain agencies and governments of states where there is a larger population of Roma have begun to take action to better integrate the Roma people into society. These initiatives are striving to increase employment, education, welfare and other aspects of life for the Roma people and to break the destructive cycle of poverty, unemployment, lack of education, and loss of hope that has set in for many East European Roma.

Structural violence in every shape and form has rooted itself deeply into the soil of humanity. It can be seen in gender inequalities, economic stability, and family dynamics. All of the many ways structural violence perpetrates the continuing struggle for basic human struggle, the examination of refugees and migrants can remain obscure. The intensity of the violence committed against groups of refugees and migrants can be socially rounded to an individual’s inadequacy or greed; this, of course, refuses the acknowledgement of the true causes of this type of treatment.

roma are a nomadic people that like the jews have been persecuted throughout history. The fate of the roma almost paralleled the jews. Both sent to ghettos, work camps and eventually to concentration camps with the jews. For while Himmler one of Hitler's top generals

From 1939-1945 millions of people were persecuted all throughout Europe. One of those kinds of people were the Gypsies (or Roma). The Gypsies were a members of traveling people. These people traditionally made a living by trade and fortune telling. In Germany the Nazis considered the Roma as genetically inferior. The fate of the Roma was very similar to the one as the Jews. In the concentrations camps the Roma were forced to work and mass murdered. On September 21, 1939 Reinhard Heydrich, the head of the Reich security main office met with Security Police and Security Service officials in Berlin. He intended to deport 30,000 German and Austrian Roma from the Greater German Reich to the German part of Poland. The governor of the German

What happened to the Jews and Roma in Germany, what happened to the Armenians and Assyrians in the Ottoman Empire, what’s happening now to the Yezidis and Shi’a Muslims in ISIS-controlled territory and to the Palestinians in their occupied land—it can and will happen here.

Many circumstances oblige people to move from their native country to a foreign one. From this movement of migration have emerged many ethnic groups. An ethnic group is a restraint number of persons living in a larger society and sharing the same distinct cultural heritage. Some people tend to bury their habits and accommodate to the new way of life. However others hold on to their identity and try to identify their race and maintain it. This enriches societies and makes them multi-racial. Therefore, every ethnic group is essential to complete the mosaic. Although they are sometimes threatened, minorities must fight to preserve their principles. Why must they fight? Because racial identification has many positive impacts on the members.

“The Gypsy has three truths; one with me, one with you, and the third with himself” a Ukrainian saying about the Gypsy life style. Portrayed for centuries as a lying, thieving and sinning group the gypsy have been discriminated against by most nations. Gypsy have endured slavery, being burned at the stake, being sent to concentration camps and being forced migration to start the list of terrors the group have endured. Most cities and nations do not treat Gypsies as equals and have a history of suffering. People know little about the Gypsies and if he/she does not know their history they are doomed to repeat it causing the Gypsies to continue to suffer. After many pleas to the courts Gypsies seem to be losing their battle for rights, Having been forced to migrate all over Europe the gypsy have never had a true home.

The veil of oppression is their fuel for protest and activism; it is the same fight against oppression that forced my ancestors to escape Crete and find refuge within Turkey’s walls. The fervor and life that I experience when in Spain is particularly appealing whenever I visit Madrid or Sevilla. However, the same passion and excitement so prevalent in the city is particularly absent in my Spanish family. Rather than embracing their connection to Spain’s daily vigor and movement, my family has isolated itself within their aristocracy and is submerged in depression and distanced affection. As I refine my relations with each country, I use my Turkish family’s strength as a means to inspire my own purpose. The contradictions within my family form a transient veil that divides the two countries, but the disparity is just as important to me as ephemeral overlaps in tradition between my
