Adds to the sparse literature on Gypsy communities in Central Asia and the CaucasusPresents the first ever book on the Roma and so-called Gypsy and Gypsy-like communities from these regionsOffers a rich account of Eurasian communities expanding our international knowledge of and understanding of Gypsies

This book explores diverse communities living in Central Asia and the Caucasus, who are generally gathered under the umbrella term of ¿Gypsies¿, their multidimensional identities, self-appellations and labels given to them by surrounding populations, researcher and policy-makers. The book presents various Gypsy and Gypsy-like communities and provides a comprehensive review of their history, demography, ways of life, past and present occupations, and contemporary migration in post-Soviet space. The authors situate these communities in historical settings and also in the wider context of contemporary evolving global and areal developments. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, sociology, social anthropology, nationalities studies, global and Central Asia and Caucasus areal studies, and Gypsy/Romani studies, and also for policy-makers and civic organizations.
