Summary
This book emerges from a conference held in autumn 2000 on ‘The Role of the Romanies: Images and Counter-Images of “Gypsies”/Romanies in European Cultures’ at the University of Liverpool. The papers presented to the conference have been extensively refereed and revised for publication in dialogue with the editors. No publication of this kind is possible without assistance from many quarters, the providers of which are too numerous to mention individually. Nonetheless, the editors would especially like to thank their generous sponsors: the British Academy, the Goethe Institute (Manchester) and the Austrian Cultural Institute (London). Thanks are also due to the University of Liverpool for its support, and in particular to the librarians working with the Gypsy Collections.
