Written in an accessible and jargon-free style, The Roma Cafe is an interdisciplinary analysis of the plight of the Roma in Central and Eastern Europe, a region where the Roma people have been particularly savagely affected by the economic transitions after 1989. Already marginal, they have experienced intense hardship with the collapse of any remaining welfare state support.

The Roma have also suffered hugely from the rise in nationalism and racism in Eastern Europe. With many leaving the region because of repression, the old prejudices against the Roma have then resurfaced in the press and elsewhere in the countries they have fled to in Western Europe.

Istvan Pogany sets the record straight for this much maligned and misunderstood minority. The Roma Cafe acts as both a physical reality and a metaphor: the plight of Europe's gypsy populations, after the holocaust and the tragedies of Yugoslavia, makes the acceptance and celebration of difference even more important in modern multicultural nations.
