Neuere Forschungen zur Tsiganologie
New Research in Romani Studies

Summary/Abstract: Two studies from the Eudora Verlag in Leipzig shed some light on the identity, situation, and politics of the Romani. The first study is a book of skilfully selected photographs, which are used in the second part of the book as a form of introduction into Gypsy folklore and their current struggle of political participation. Jens Bengelstorf ’s study argues that the Romanian Rudari and Bajeshi should not be subsumed within the group of “Roma” because evidence suggests that they are in fact Romanians or Serbs respectively, who became marginalised over time and were given a social status closed to that of the Roma.
