Title: Fonseca only creates more myths
Product review: The book is only another example of the wide spread myth about the Gypsies: not only that the author obviously lacks more "academic" information about the ethnic group but she cannot speak a word of the language either. It is also surprising that Fonseca picks the Eastern Europe to discover the "real life of the Gypsies" completely ignoring the rest of the world where the Roma are represented as well /not excluding the US where, espacially in certain localities, there are large enclaves of the Roma/. Instead, Fonseca prefers to compilate from other sources making hillarious mistakes both when trying to examine their cultural background or when "quoting" their language.It is quiet sad that the book has been taken so seriously since it only promote more myths about the nation supersticiously repeating all the prejudices and believes about them, covering them with a guise of a serious research.
