Sinti and Roma
Explores the life of the Sinti and Roma in Germany, their representation in German literature, and the relationship between the German and Romani languages. Gives background to Gypsy maltreatment and underlines the fact that the persecution of Gypsies during the Nazi period did not cease until 1945. The continuity of anti-Gypsy sentiment is traced to the present day, and efforts and achievements of the Sinti and Roma civil rights movement are highlighted.

Intersectional Colonialities
This book provides a rich synthesis of empirical research and theoretical engagements with questions of disability across different practices of colonialism as historically defined – post/de/anti/settler colonialism. It synthesises, critiques, and expands the boundaries of existing disability research which has been undertaken within different colonial contexts through the rich examination of recent empirical work mapping across disability and its intersectional colonialities. Filling an existing gap within the international literature through embedding the importance of grounding these within scholarly debates of colonialism, it empirically demonstrates the significance of disability for the broader scholarly fields of postcolonial, decolonial, and intersectional theories. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, critical studies, sociology of race and ethic relations, intersectionality, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and human geography.
Between Past and Future

Winter Time
This rare account from a survivor of Gypsy concentration camps during World War II relates how German Sinto Walter Winter was discharged from the German navy in 1943 on racial grounds and was deported to Auschwitz with his brother and sister. The atrocities he witnessed, including the death of his wife and unborn child, are told in stark, unflinching detail. As well as reporting horrific persecutions, Winter recalls moments of personal bravery in which he beat up an SS guard and confronted the notorious Dr. Mengele to request extra rations for starving Sinti children on his block. As the Gypsy culture is generally predisposed not to dwell on the past, this memoir tells a rare story infused with a quiet hopefulness that suggests Winter retained his spirit, courage, and sense of fairness in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
Die unbekannten Nachbarn
Die zahlreichen Minderheiten verwandelten Osteuropa einst in eine kulturell reiche, vielfarbige Landschaft mit funktionierenden Nachbarschaften. Doch diese einzigartige Pluralität wurde in der Mitte des letzten Jahrhunderts zerstört. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit seinen Umsiedlungsaktionen, Grenzverschiebungen und Blockbildungen ging ein Riss durch viele Kulturlandschaften, die sozialistische Staatsideologie überlagerte die jeweiligen Traditionen. Erst allmählich beginnt eine Rückbesinnung und Wiederbelebung der spezifischen Lebensarten. Im Auftrag der Robert Bosch Stiftung haben Journalisten elf Länder Osteuropas bereist, dort lebende Minderheiten besucht und ihre gegenwärtige Situation in Reportagen exemplarisch beschrieben. Daneben gibt es zu jedem Land eine ausführliche Übersicht zu allen ethnischen Gruppierungen, ihrer Geschichte im 20. Jahrhundert und ihren heutigen Lebensbedingungen.
