The Welsh Gypsies
The Gypsy family of Abram Wood first arrived in Wales in the eighteenth century, speaking a language close to Hindi and Sanskrit. Welsh society found their customs strange and sometimes unacceptable. This study is a combination of historical and linguistic scholarship with inside knowledge drawn from family tradition.

Traveller Children
This book looks at education in the context of several distinct travelling groups including Circus, Fairground and New Travellers. Cathy Kiddle argues that education is important for Traveller children in that it enables them to develop into independent learners and, through this, independent people, able to speak for themselves.
School Provision for Ethnic Minorities
This is a new edition of the highly influential 'Synthesis Report' (School provision for Gypsy and Traveller children) commissioned by the European Commission & first published in 1986 which led to the adoption of the Resolution on school provision for Gypsy and Traveller Children by the Council & Ministers of Education, 22 May 1989.
Voices from the Silent Cradles
In 1990, disturbing television footage emerged showing the inhumane conditions in which children in Romanian institutions were living. Viewers were shocked that the babies were silent. The so-called ‘Romanian orphans’ became subjects of several international research studies. In parallel, Romania had to reform its child protection system in order to become a member of the European Union. This book sheds light on the lived experiences of these children, who had become adults by the time the country joined the EU. Uniquely, the book brings together the accounts of those who stayed in institutions, those who grew up in foster care and those who were adopted, both in Romania and internationally. Their narratives challenge stereotypes about these types of care.
Segregation of Roma Children in Education
In Segregation of Roma Children in Education, Sina Van den Bogaert examines, from the perspective of public international law, how the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (Council of Europe) and the Racial Equality Directive 2000/43/EC (European Union) have contributed towards desegregation of Roma children in education in Europe.
