Myths versus realities: How legends have hidden the story of Gypsy travelers by Gaétan Cognard, Professor researcher Marie and Pierre Curie University
Gaétan Cognard tackles the speeches of the press or films that form a set of myths that impose themselves on the general public. In the case of the Gypsy travelers (nomadic Roma of Great Britain), the narratives have engraved a racist image in the collective consciousness that has obscured their history. Back to these myths and their consequences.
