A new Book in France

Februar 7, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Last, a book for children featuring a young Romni – Luludja (sic. Normally, in Romanes, the first name would be Luludji [flower] not in plural) – but also strengthening the stereotypes. Clearly she comes from Romania (all Roma are from there for the French) in search for a better live, lands in camps etc.

Sometimes, these books are counterproductive.
