'This excitingly rich collection accomplishes a remarkable feat: It lifts Romani histories and experiences from their conventional framing, whether the nation-state, a singular empire, or a single region. It thus provides a truly global perspective on the colonial and inter-imperial context behind transatlantic Romani mobilities, diasporic connections, and how these shaped the modern world.'
