A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture. Fabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies--or Roma--are among the least understood people on earth. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness. In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals--the poet, the politician, the child prostitute--Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. She traces their exodus out of India 1,000 years ago and their astonishing history of persecution: enslaved by the princes of medieval Romania; massacred by the Nazis; forcibly assimilated by the communist regimes; evicted from their settlements in Eastern Europe, and most recently, in Western Europe as well. Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the Gypsies have always been with us--but never before have they been brought so vividly to life. Includes fifty black and white photos.Binding Type: Paperback

eat Travel Case — Sturdy, Snug Fit & Pencil Holder is a Lifesaver

Great Travel Case — Sturdy, Snug Fit & Pencil Holder is a Lifesaver
I’m really impressed with this iPad case. It’s made from high-quality materials and fits my iPad snugly without feeling bulky. It slides easily into my backpack, which is great for everyday use and travel.
I recently used it on a flight and was pleasantly surprised — it actually hooked over the back of the airline seat, making it easy to watch movies hands-free. When I needed to work, the case stood up perfectly on my tray table too, with solid angles for typing and watching videos.
The built-in pencil holder is a HUGE plus. My daughter constantly misplaces her stylus, and this keeps everything together and easy to find.
Overall, it’s durable, convenient, and feels very well-made. A great pick for students, travelers, or anyone who wants reliable protection without extra bulk.
