“Distortions of Roma identity are ideological legacies that slip between cultures, mainstream media and disturbingly, into education systems. They gain, generation by generation, a false veracity, until myth and falsehood are perceived as mere fact.
Such distortions are acts of attrition that wear away upon the lived experiences of Roma women, like rainwater on limestone.”

[Steven Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

A powerful collection of poetry from Roma women. Highly recommended - beautiful little snapshots of life and thought from Roma women as opposed to Westernised media fear-mongering and harmful myths.
