A positive presentation of a young Rroma migrant who works, but also lots of other clichés on Rroma in general.
A book by the French ethnologist Catherine Monnot about her conversations and interviews of Gabriela Cantia, a Romanian Rromni who emigrated to France and leaves close to Toulouse in a camp was just published.
A Turkish art project aims at bridging the divide between ethnic groups in that country.
Well Done!
