"There's a lot to learn and like about this book. Efficient design,
profusion of pictures, the choice of bringing together actors from
different fields - from architects to historians, from artists to
NGOs - to explore and discuss the issue, a contagious concern and
interest for the story of the Gypsies." We Make Money Not Art
"When you pick the book up first you just see poverty and
exclusion, and then the differences between Roma communities start
to come through." Travellers Times
"The result of a partnership of architects, designers and artists
aiming to raise awareness of the cultural diversity of European
Roma and the injustices they've been subjected to." New Start
