Romani groups
In recent years the name Roma, which is the ethno-cultural self-designation of most of those perceived by outsiders as ‘Gypsies’, has come to dominate the official political discourse, at least in Europe, and has acquired the legitimacy of political correctness. It is a complicated undertaking to further differentiate between the various Romani subgroups spread all over Europe and the world. Yet, it is also an important undertaking if we are to develop a better understanding of Roma.
