Do hope this seminar will cover literature on Britain's second oldest
racial minority, the Gypsies, which just happens to be the main
specialism of the University of Hertfordshire Press! See:
http://www.herts.ac.uk/UHPress/
Originating in India they came to Britain during the time of
Elizabeth I and have suffered from discrimination from their arrival
to the present day.
Earlier this month I was exhibiting our books on the Gypsies (Roma)
at Frankfurt, the word's biggest book fair, and tomorrow I shall be
exhibiting them at the traditional Gypsy fair in Stow on the Wold.
A wonderful day out if you can spare the time!
