The new "Roma" Series, edited by Ian Hancock and Hristo Kyuchukov, aims to publish scientific articles, historical documents, and ethnographic materials about Roma in Europe and beyond. This series features an international editorial board and will release works in English, German, Russian, Spanish, and for the first time, Romani language, aiding in the codification of Romani worldwide. The inaugural volume, edited by Hristo Kyuchukov, explores linguistic, educational, and cultural issues surrounding Roma. It includes contributions on Romani linguistics, Roma children's education, ethnology, and antigypsyism, along with poetry by a Roma author. Key articles cover various topics, such as Ian Hancock's examination of popular perceptions of Gypsies, Theresa Catalano's analysis of Romani representation in Italian crime reports, and Dagmar Kopcanova's insights into the challenges faced in educating Roma children. Other contributors discuss multiculturalism among hearing-impaired Roma, the historical uprooting of Spanish Calés, and the significance of oaths in Roma communities. This volume represents a significant step in addressing Roma issues through academic discourse. ISBN 9783862885824. Roma 01 (series Editors: Hristo Kyuchukov and Ian Hancock). 324pp. 2014.
