regroupe sous des termes larges et un peu flous ? Présents en Europe, mais aussi en Amérique, ces gens-là ont toujours attiré le regard de leurs contemporains et l'attention, quand ce n'est pas la suspicion, des pouvoirs publics. Beaucoup d'idées reçues circulent à leur propos, témoignant à la fois de la peur et de la fascination, et bien souvent de l'ignorance : Les Gitans viennent de l'Inde , Les Gitans vivent dans des camps , Les Roms sont des Gitans nomades venus de l'Est , Ils n'envoient pas leurs enfants à l'école , mais aussi Les Gitanes savent lire les lignes de la main , Les Gitans ont la musique dans le sang , etc. On loue leur sens de la famille et leur culture. Mais on leur interdit l'entrée de nos villages et le stationnement dans nos villes. Cet ouvrage est une invitation à ouvrir les yeux... et les esprits ! " -- 4e de couv.Mémoire d'Inuksuk: [récits]
