Romani Studies
is an international,
interdisciplinary journal publishing
modern scholarship in all branches of Romani/Gypsy studies.
Founded in 1888, the Journal of the
Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In
2000, the journal became Romani Studies. Under the sponsorship of the Gypsy Lore Society (formerly Gypsy Lore Society,
North American Chapter), Romani Studies features articles on the cultures
of groups traditionally known as Gypsies as well as Travelers and other
peripatetic groups. These groups include, among others, those referring to
themselves as Ludar, Rom, Roma, Romanichels, Sinti and Travelers. The journal
publishes articles in history, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, art,
literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual
materials.
Romani Studies appears twice a year.
