Nonostante Sinti e Rom costituiscano la minoranza più numerosa in Europa, dove sono presenti da più di seicento anni, poco si conosce di loro.

Il volume propone una sintetica ma accurata descrizione di tale minoranza, che sotto un'etichetta comune include gruppi regionali, nazionali, linguistici molto differenziati; ne illustra le caratteristiche sociali e culturali, la storia, in particolare quella della persecuzione e dello sterminio perpetrati dal nazismo, e le prospettive nell'attuale situazione europea.

By the late 1970s, the fishermen of the Texas Gulf Coast were struggling. The bays that had sustained generations of shrimpers and crabbers before them were being poisoned by nearby petrochemical plants, oil spills, pesticides, and concrete. But as their nets came up light, the white shrimpers could only see one culprit: the small but growing number of newly resettled Vietnamese refugees who had recently started fishing. Turf was claimed. Guns were flashed. Threats were made.

Story
Auf einem kürzlich abgehaltenen Frauenrechtlerinnenkongress wurde eine Kantate gesungen, die verkündete: dass die Menschheit unter der Herrschaft des Mannes in Dunkelheit und Verbrechen umhergetappt sei. Aber aus der Seele der Frauen würde die Menschheit wieder geboren werden, der Sonnenaufgang würde das nächtliche Dunkel zerstreuen und das Erscheinen des Messias gewiss sein.

Story
Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them about their gender identity. These phrases have stayed with them over the years. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary. Through these seven phrases, which include some of their most transformative experiences as a Black, mixed-race, non-binary person, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society.

Story
It wasn't long-ago that Britons could have been as at home in Varanasi as they could have been in Wolverhampton—why?—because the shape and location of Britain's land-mass has not always been the same, and with large parts of Britain scattered across the globe, British borders and its identity has always been on the move. But, by knowing more about the twelve pivotal moments that occurred over a 2,000-year period, we can not only gain a full sense of our British history, but we can also understand where we are heading.

In early 2018, Erin Darcy created an online art project, "In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth", to safely and anonymously share private stories of the real and devastating impact of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland. In the five months leading up to the referendum on abortion, the project asked a simple question of undecided voters: put yourself in her shoes. Within weeks, Erin was receiving hundreds of stories from a broad spectrum of experiences of planned and unplanned terminations.
