Roma Words, Roma Worlds

The Roma Words, Roma Worlds book group will discuss Jan Yoors' The Gypsies.  Because the group is meeting at The Cafe Luna, there is no zoom available.

At the age of twelve, Jan Yoors ran away from his privileged Belgian family and home to join a wandering band, a kumpania, of Gypsies. For ten years, he lived as one of them, traveled with them from country to country, shared both their pleasures and their hardships and came to know them as no one, no outsider, ever has. In this classic firsthand account of an extraordinary people, Yoors tells the real story of the Gypsies' customs and their never-ending struggle to survive as free nomads.

The Roma Words, Roma Worlds book group discusses the work of authors of Romani descent. Copies available at the front desk by request starting one month before the meeting.
