"Don’t Mourn, Balkanize! - the Struggles of the Balkans and Romani in Fact and Fiction"
, discusion, with Shani Rifati (Voice of Roma) and Andrej Grubacic
(Yugoslav author, most recently, of "Don’t Mourn, Balkanize!").
Not only have the Balkans been bombed by a NATO "humanitarian
intervention", eviscerated by imposed neoliberal economic
restructuring, and their peoples, particularly the Roma gypsy flung to
the corners of the earth, but they’ve suffered the indignities of
centuries of lies, caricature, distortion, and misinformation. Here to
discuss, disturb and offer a gentle corrective or two, is a panel of
folks from the Balkans and its environs.
