Book Synopsis
What’s written about us by non-Roma is a stereotypical image that’s both romantic and vilified. In writing our own Parramisha-story we are obligated to deconstruct those prevailing narratives readily available in popular culture and that have unjustly treated us.
 Parramisha challenges the reader to reconstruct a new image as a life affirming narrative of our wholeness as a Romani identity.
