The Brewer Family is very wealthy, wealthy in terms of resourcefulness, cohesion, loyalty, and love -- the things that really matter. Can their circus survive another season in the heart of the Great Depression, a season when townspeople are poorer then ever and the Dust Bowl is covering some of their best towns? The Brewers and the diverse people they hire are skilled performers, and their performing elephants, horses and menagerie of exotic animals are a big draw. The Depression is at its worst, and people want escape from their dreary lives more than ever. The Brewers try to provide enough fantasy and glamor to get enough people into the bigtop and enough money so that the show can go on.

Welcome to a world of sneaky elephants and high-jumping horses, of trick ropers, escaped ostriches, and Indian dancers. There is a grandmother who tells fortunes and a grandson who rides Roman style. But what goes on behind the scenes is even more fascinating. Brewer Brothers Circus is owned and operated by Gypsies, ethnic Gypsies, their own tribe of people who speak a strange dialect. But they can never risk prejudice by admitting their heritage. They are key performers on the show along with seventy people from all over the world. Getting over bad roads to do two shows a day with a smile is just a norm. It is the time of the Great Depression, that sad period in American history. Lines of hungry hobos wait at soup kitchens. People crave escape from their dreary lives. They shell out nickels and dimes to see a circus full of wonder and surprise. It's a once-a-year opportunity.Every day a new town brings new hopes and challenges, maybe with good cops or maybe with bad cops. The Brewers know how to turn bad luck into a publicity stunt and how to negotiate tricky border crossings so that the show can go on. The family is the key to success and survival, first the Gypsy family, and then the larger family of show folks they have hired. They are all trying to stick together in a world falling apart.The author weaves together stories of his own family and ancestors, stories heard in his childhood around a fire when it was way past bedtime. The product himself of a Gypsy heritage and a circus childhood, he takes the reader back to the decade before he was born, the Depression years, when the stories were the best, when it sometimes seemed hopeless, when a relentless eye on opportunity was the order of the day. He interprets these stories for people who aren't Gypsies and who never put up a circus bigtop. It will soon be a century since this world was real, but the people must never be forgotten. The stories must never die.

What do Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, and Ed Sullivan have in common? Ottavio Canestrelli crossed paths with each. He performed with the Krone Circus in Italy and Germany from 1922 to 1924 on the eve of Hitler's rise to power; he witnessed a rally for Mahatma Gandhi in India in 1931; and he appeared twice on the Ed Sullivan Show during the 1960s. In The Grand Gypsy, Canestrelli, with his grandson, Ottavio Gesmundo, tells the story of a man who witnessed historical events as he toured with his family through five continents and countless nations, including experiences fighting in World War I and the excavation of the Sphinx in Egypt. It shares memories of life in the circus, filled with daring feats and tragic mishaps. With over one hundred and seventy historical photographs included, this memoir chronicles a circus dynasty from the late nineteenth-century in Europe to the new millennium in the United States.

European Roma written by Professor Eve Rosenhaft and has been published by Liverpool University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-03-01 with Social Science categories.
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book, designed as a resource for scholars, educators, activists and non-specialist readers, presents the results of new research on the role of Romani groups in European culture and society since the nineteenth century. Its specific focus is on the ways in which Romani actors, in their interactions with non-Romanies, have contributed to shaping Europe’s public spaces. Twelve chapters recount the experiences and accomplishments of individuals and families, from across Europe (England, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Finland) and Canada. All based on new research, and maintaining a focus on the real lives and activities of Romani people rather than on the perspective of the majority societies, these studies exemplify the creative presence of Romani people in the fields of politics, economics and culture. We see them as writers, artists and performers, political activists and resistance fighters, traders and entrepreneurs, circus and cinema managers and purveyors of popular science. Sensitive to the ambivalent position from which Roma act, the cases are linked and contextualized by a general introduction and by section introductions written by leading scholars of Romani studies with expertise in history, ethnography, musicology, literary and discourse studies and visual culture. The volume is richly illustrated, including many images that have never been published before, and includes an extensive bibliography / guide to further reading. Contributors to the volume: Begoña Barrera, Beatriz Carrillo de los Reyes, Malte Gasche, Paweł Lechowski, Anna G. Piotrowska, Laurence Prempain, Juan Pro, Eve Rosenhaft, Carolina García Sanz, María Sierra, and Tamara West.
