Migracje Cyganow do Nowego Swiata

During discussions about diversity of people and cultures of the American Continent, the existence of Romani people is systematically forgotten. It could be proved by a declaration signed by Romani representatives during The Forum of the Americas for Diversity and Plurality in Quito 2001 which reflects a lack of profound research upon Roma minorities in the New World, and Latin America in particular. The Roma community in the Americas, estimating a population of over 4 million people, is still immersed in invisibility. The work is focused on migrations of Roma people to Latin America and North America. It presents three important periods of European history (colonization of New World, mass migration of Europeans in the mid 19th and 20th centuries, Soviet period and the after math) which had a crucial influence on Roma and their journey through the Atlantic.
