Between Two Fires

"This is an extraordinarily insightful account of the performance of being 'Gypsy' in Russia. Theoretically sophisticated, it illuminates Russian as well as Romani culture, and delves into issues of naming, mobility, transgression, and authenticity. This book is a must for anyone interested in advances in anthropology as well as contemporary Russian culture."--Caroline Humphrey, coauthor of "The End of Nomadism? Society, State, and the Environment in Inner Asia"
