Abstrakt:
Romanis/Gypsies are the most numerous ethnic minorities in Europe. There are 6 – 12 million Gypsies dispersed around Europe with two-thirds living in Central and Eastern Europe. It is impossible to eliminate deep-rooted prejudice and racial stereotypes without acquiring rudimentary knowledge about the Romani community, their history, ethnic identity, structure, proper names, population, and social situation. The name „Gypsy“ will be used here interchangeably with ethnonym „Roma“ despite its derogatory connotation (Mirga, Mróz 1994, pp. 266-267; Ficowski, 1965). This text presents the basic information about Roma People/Gypsies in Poland.Kľúčové slová:
