I hope my story goes some way to help change hearts and minds of those who hold unethical and unjust hatred in their hearts against us, for no other reason than the ethnicity we were born.
I feel very strongly that we must individually stand against the perpetrators who project hate, who discriminate, and stereotype us. We must also unite and stand tall against the racists who have a pernicious effect on society. And, I am passion driven to send a message to those of us who have been subjected to such hatred because we have been born and bred into a world where the common view of us is still one that was widely spread by Hitler and the Nazis - "that we are the lowest class of humans"
This book is an educational read for the professional: the police, local authority workers, teaching practitioners, Social Services staff, NHS staff and staff who work in higher education. If you want to learn much more than stereotypes; if you would like to learn some of the English-Romanies history; if you are passionate about change against racism and discrimination then this book is a must read. Or if you are simply looking for an honest portrayal of Gypsy life in England, in modern society whilst laughing and crying then this book is for you.
