SOEST, George von. Ziguener zwischen Verfolgung und Integration.
Weinheim und Basel: Beltz Verlag, 1979.
This joint German-Swiss study explores the history
of the Roma, who the author feels have been traditionally trapped between
the forces of discrimination and forced assimilation. Though there is ample
background information on the Roma in this study, it concentrates on post-World
War II Germany. It has a good bibliography and list of addresses of Romany
organizations.
