"A ova knjiga je
veoma retka. Prvo, može da je čita neko ko hoće da bude ekspert/kinja o Romima,
a i čitatelji/ke koji ništa ne znaju o Romima, pravima manjina ili o politikama
građanskih prava u Istočnoj Evropi. Interesantna je za studentkinje i studente rodnih
studija, ali i za ljude koji nikada nisu ovu vrstu knjige uzeli u ruke. I bavi
se određenim veoma važnim pitanjima ljudskih prava koja su ostale knjige
prenebregle. Okuplja reči romskih aktivistkinja i aktivista i ne-Romskih pisaca
i spisateljica, visokoobrazovanih Romkinja i žena sa ulice. To se teško nalazi.
Važan doprinos je ispitivanje odakle dolaze izvesni stereotipi i zašto
istrajavaju. Knjiga daje zanimljive ideje o istoriji i sadašnjosti predstava o
Ciganima kao divljim, slobodnim duhom, koji su siromašni zato što neće da se
prilagode, o devojkama koje su previše strasne da bi sedele u školi, koje su
maloletne majke jer su Cigani vatrena stvorenja. Ona govori o stereotipima koje
autsajderi imaju o Romima, ali takođe – a to je veoma retko – o stereotipima
koje Romi imaju jedni o drugima, Vlasi o Romungrima, jedna grupa o drugoj.
Priča i kako Romkinje vide svoju interakciju sa muškarcima, i u domaćinstvu i
na poslu i u političkom okruženju. I, kao što naslov sugeriše, gleda i kako
neki Romi saobraćaju i sa Romima i sa ne-Romima u spavaćoj sobi. To nije urađeno
iz zabave ili budalaštine, već kao prozor u druge teme.
"And this book is
very rare. Firstly, we can read that someone who wants to be an expert /
activists of Roma, and readers / ke who know nothing about the Roma, minority
rights or civil rights policies in Eastern Europe. Interesting to female
students and students of gender studies, but also for people who have never
taken this kind of book in hand. I deals with some very important issues of
human rights neglecting other books. brings together words of Romani activists
and non-Roma writers and writer, highly Roma women and women on the street. It
is hard to find.
An important
contribution is to examine where they come from and why certain stereotypes
persist. The book provides interesting ideas about the history and present
ideas about the gypsies as a wild, free spirit, who are poor because they will
not conform, the girls that are too terrible to sit in school, that teenage
mothers because they are Gypsies fiery creatures. It talks about the stereotypes
that outsiders have of the Roma, but also - and this is very rare - about
stereotypes that Roma have of each other, the Vlachs Romungrima, one group
about another. The story and how Roma perceive their interactions with men
in the household and the business and political environment. And, as the
title suggests, looks and how some traffic and Roma with Roma and non-Roma in
the bedroom. This is not done for fun or foolishness, but as a window into
other topics.
This is not the first
book that tells how state policies related to sexuality and reproductive health
for Roma, but the first one to connect with family life, European cultural
history and the wider picture. "
