Book excerpt: Kirk Yetholm is a small village in the Scottish Borders region that for centuries was known as the headquarters of the Romani people (Gypsies) in Scotland. Brockie's ethnographic study attempts to capture the "peculiar characteristics or idiosyncrasies" of the Yetholm Gypsies "before they are absorbed in the general population of the land, and consequently lost to view." He examines important historical figures and events and briefly addresses those aspects of Gypsy life that you might expect to find in an ethnographic work: myths, religion, cookery, marriages and divorces, funerals, names, language, colonies, dance and music, education, fortune-telling, child-stealing, fairs, habits, home life, and humor. In the Miscellanea, Brockie asks the question, "Was John Bunyan a Gypsy?" The work concludes with a bibliography, "for the curious reader," of other works concerning Gypsies.

Download or read book 'The Damned Fraternitie': Constructing Gypsy Identity in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 written by Frances Timbers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Damned Fraternitie': Constructing Gypsy Identity in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 examines the construction of gypsy identity in England between the early sixteenth century and the end of the seventeenth century. Drawing upon previous historiography, a wealth of printed primary sources (including government documents, pamphlets, rogue literature, and plays), and archival material (quarter sessions and assize cases, parish records and constables's accounts), the book argues that the construction of gypsy identity was part of a wider discourse concerning the increasing vagabond population, and was further informed by the religious reformations and political insecurities of the time. The developing narrative of a fraternity of dangerous vagrants resulted in the gypsy population being designated as a special category of rogues and vagabonds by both the state and popular culture. The alleged Egyptian origin of the group and the practice of fortune-telling by palmistry contributed elements of the exotic, which contributed to the concept of the mysterious alien. However, as this book reveals, a close examination of the first gypsies that are known by name shows that they were more likely Scottish and English vagrants, employing the ambiguous and mysterious reputation of the newly emerging category of gypsy. This challenges the theory that sixteenth-century gypsies were migrants from India and/or early predecessors to the later Roma population, as proposed by nineteenth-century gypsiologists. The book argues that the fluid identity of gypsies, whose origins and ethnicity were (and still are) ambiguous, allowed for the group to become a prime candidate for the 'other', thus a useful tool for reinforcing the parameters of orthodox social behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the centuries, Gypsies all over the world have been misunderstood, maligned, rejected. Outcasts of the countries in which they live, they have wandered for centuries over the face of the earth. They have no homeland, no political unity, no recognition among nations. They have been alone, sundered, shunned, persecuted and banished. Until about a century ago, their original home had been a matter of dispute. Their language had been a source of puzzlement. Yet their conduct and their traditions, their feeling for music, dance and song, have all been acclaimed. Still they were not accepted and were forced to remain apart from conventional society. Here is their epic history, with its folktales and beliefs, its rites and customs. Here is the vast treasury of the Gypsies.

Download or read book Gypsy Politics and Social Change written by Thomas Acton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1974, analyses the position of the Gypsies in Britain in the twentieth century, and assesses its significance in their overall history. Two dramatic shifts in Government policy towards the Gypsies are examined – in the 1880s and the 1960s – as are the changes in the stereotype of the ‘true Gypsy’. Dr Acton traces the developments of attitudes and economic conditions that gave rise to the 1970s increase in interest in Gypsies, and discusses the concomitant political and pressure group activity. He gives an account of the historical background to modern Gypsy politics; describes the postwar situation of the Gypsies in England and Wales, including pro-Gypsy pressure group activity up to 1965, and goes on to cover the campaigns of the Gypsy Council, including a sociological assessment of its work. He considers these aspects of Gypsy life in the light of modern sociological theory on minorities and race relations.
