Title: Bury Me Standing
Product review: If you've ever been curious about gypsies, Bury Me Standing is an excellent work, based on the author's very close contact with gypsies from several different countries. Besides the bit of history (or what is known), she goes in great detail about their lifestyles. She does not sugarcoat gypsy culture, admitting they lie, beg (however unsuccessfully), even steal, but some misinformation about them is clarified. It is in the second half of the book that the author, Isabel Fonseca, reminds the reader of how the gypsies, like the Jews before them, are being targeted by their neighbors, who use terror tactics to cause them to move away -- perhaps the reason gypsies are seen as nomads although many actually prefer to settle.
