ANTH 1444 - GYPSY LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Romani is spoken by more than 10,000,000 gypsies living in Europe and the Americas. They left their homeland in India over 2000 years ago, entering Europe around 1200 ad. Their unfriendly reception has made them shy and hard to know. Misunderstanding and misinformation on gypsies are abundant. This course will focus on reliable ethnographic descriptions from Europe and North America, and the language and folklore of one or more branches of the Romani nation. The history of the gypsies as discernible in their language and written records will also be studied.
