«Europa erfindet die Zigeuner» is the historical essay by Klaus-Michael Bogdal, published by Suhrkamp in hardcover (590 pages, in German).
The book examines how Europe has perceived and marginalized Roma peoples over six centuries, in a relationship of fascination and contempt. Bogdal reconstructs this image from chronicles, laws, literature, art, and Holocaust memoirs, and explains why Roma were seen as outsiders with no permanent place in Europe.
Award-winning work in 2013 with the Leipziger Buchpreis zur Europäischen Verständigung (Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding).
For readers interested in European history, Roma peoples, and historical processes of ethnic discrimination and exclusion.
