America has always been a land of fascinating cultural diversity. From the extremely wide range of cultural groups on the American scene today, Gypsies, or Roma, are among the most extraordinarily elusive and complex. For more than forty-five years, social scientist Anne Sutherland has researched and objectively written about the American Roma worldview. She honed traditional research methods to study the Roma, who normally obscure the truth about themselves to outsiders, dispelling centuries of misinterpretation, bias, and romanticism that have led to discrimination. In this latest work, Roma: Modern American Gypsies, she succinctly portrays their twenty-first-century lives and identifies how their realities have been shaped by global processes and agents of power. Throughout complex stages of change and adaptation, Sutherland concludes, Gypsies have managed to retain, not lose, their identity. Ideal for classes in introductory sociology and cultural anthropology, Roma is also an excellent supplement in courses on ethnicity, immigration, and American culture since Gypsy culture also vividly illustrates the strength of ethnic boundaries, the channeling of interethnic relations, subcultural differentiation, and adaptation.

The Gypsies portrayed in this book are the Vlax-speaking Rom, the largest group of Gypsies in the United States, numbering 500,000. Not officially recognized as a minority in the U.S. until 1972, Gypsies have led an almost entirely invisible existence here. Now in this fascinating workthe first complete account of American GypsiesSutherland has produced an in-depth look at the full range of everyday social life among the Rom. Separate, elusive, complex, and unique among the people of the world, Gypsies have preserved their traditional way of life. How have they avoided assimilation? What keeps them apart? How are they organized, and what do they believe? These and other important questions about these hidden Americans are addressed in Sutherlands contemporary study.

A rare inside look at Roma culture, ritual and belief at its peak in the American Gypsy experience - A Disapora spread over five continents, Gypsies conjure the romance of a nomadic life, a nostalgia for a simpler time. We think of dancing Spanish Gypsies or French jazz guitarists or a Romanian king. Gypsies have yet to enter the American public consciousness, yet they have been arriving since the late sixteenth century. Columbus brought several, forcibly transported to the Colonies, and many Americans today may count, unknown, a Gypsy or two among their forebears. A legacy of misfortune and mistrust lives on in Gypsy blood, and glimpses into their lives are rare. A young anthropologist drawn in by a Gypsy matriarch had no idea her life’s work would be witness to this hidden culture and its dilution over decades of cultural adaptation. From 1966 to 2000 Carol Miller lived among the Machvaia during their Heyday. Here are her stories about creating a bounty of good luck made by good times: three-day weddings, opulent slavi (saint days), baptisms, holidays, parties, and fabulous offerings for the Dead Ones. “The Heyday,” this particular heyday, is done, and we will not see its like again.

Excerpt from American Gypsies My first acquaintance with American Gypsies was at Mount Desert several years ago [C. 1880]. One day while out walking I came across a Gypsy camp, and stopped there a half-hour talking with a boy of about seventeen who was the only person at home in the camp. He asked me where I lived, my business, and various questions about myself. The next afternoon I went to the camp again with several gentlemen. As we approached, a large fine-looking Gypsy woman of fifty with a face and figure like a Roman matron commenced to tell the company where I came from, my business and various other particulars. Afterwards, evidently thinking she had made an impression by her power of divination, she wished to tell the fortunes of the rest of the gentlemen who were much surprised at her correct accounts of myself. The whole thing showed the shrewdness of the Gypsy race. She had met and spoken with me the previous morning and had seen me go to the camp, and the boy had evidently related to her what I had told him. She recognized me the second day and sought to surprise us all by her skill in fortune-telling by pretending to divine all she told by her arts. As these Gypsies intended to remain a week or more, and I had little to do at the time, it seemed to be a good opportunity to learn Gypsy, which I accordingly improved. As a rule Gypsies are unwilling to teach a stranger their language. It was therefore only by liberal presents of cigars and tobacco to the men and bright silk handkerchiefs to the women and girls that I induced this band to teach me. Again, Gypsies seldom can read or write, and it is not easy to learn a language accurately from ignorant people. For instance, I asked how they said in Gypsy "Will you have a cigar?" They said "Will tuti lella tav" Later, however, I discovered this phrase meant "Will you have a smoke," not "Will you have a cigar." Ignorant people also soon tire when teaching you, and mislead by their answers, saying "yes" often when they should say "no," simply because that happens to make it easier for them. Frequently their replies are very amusing, and it is difficult to get an answer to your question. Once I remember, I asked a Gypsy how he said in Romani "How much will you take for that horse?" The horse was near us. He answered "One hundred and fifty dollars." "No," I said, "you do not understand me.
