The primary objective of this archive section is to pool knowledge about international Roma literatures. To date, the rich variety of textual productions has hardly made an impression on the public consciousness. That is the motive for our presentation here of the life and work of numerous Roma writers, from all over Europe as well as some non-European countries, together with examples of texts by Yenish authors. The content focusses on the self-representation, identity constructions and cultural memory of Sinti and Roma.
