Reviews

Roma Voices in the German-Speaking World is a wonderful testament to the resilience and creative spirit of the Romani people. Lorely French's book provides a remarkable account of the transformation in the literature of German-speaking Roma that has occurred as a response to the atrocities of the Holocaust. It shows how Romani authors, in particular Romani women writers through personal and literary narratives, are able to redeem vanishing memories from oblivion, while also fostering a sense of common ethnic identity. This book can truly be considered a major contribution to the fast-growing field of Romani studies. Paola Toninato, Associate Research Fellow, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Warwick, UK At last a work that does not reduce Roma to objects of scientific interest but gives space to the literary self-expression of German-speaking Roma and makes these authentic voices heard. This impeccable literary analysis incorporates the actual results of other disciplines and leads to a new view of this still marginalized group. An important book! Gernot Haupt, Professor in the Department of Intercultural Education, University of Klagenfurt, Austria
