Product Description
Gypsies is a term bandied about like the vampire bat, conjuring images of mystery, danger, repulsion, derision and disgust. Some call them tinkers, travellers or even outcasts. They are all wrong. Their name is the Roma, a tribe that emanated from India and brought to Europe a culture infinitely alien to the people who lived there. Jarret Schecter sought to define their traditions, concentrating on the gypsy settlement of Hermanovce in Eastern Slovakia over four seasons. Rather than a voyage of love or romance, Shecters work is related to a singular dedication to a truth, and the reality of that truth. Jarret Schecters first book, Our World in Focus, was launched at the World Conference on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August, 2002.

Captivating slice of life April 23, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These photos present a captivating slice of life in the world of the Roma living in Hermovance, a small village in Slovakia. However, I wish that there had been been more cute pics of the young Roma children in the village. Also I would have liked more text explaining the stories behind the pictures to make the book more interesting.
