Ep. 669B: Interlude This week, we're hitting the pause button on our usual programming. But don't worry, we've got a special treat for you—an Interlude filled with your wonderful voicemails and email, and some messages from Heather herself. We hope you enjoy this little break with us, and we can't wait to be back with you next week! --------------------------------------------------------------- Per : “'Gypsies' have been stereotypical outcasts in the British imagination for centuries. But this has little to do with real history of Romanies (ethnonym). A good book to read is David Cressy: Gypsies: An English History. Below are several reviews of it. I also found Sara Hemsley’s blog post (also below) but it merely repeats the stereotypes."
