Talk:Fictional representations of Roma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Piers Anthony
Not mentioned in the main article nor the fictional representations article (a fact that surprised me to be honest)... but the author Piers Anthony (probably best known for the highly popular Xanth novels, among many others) featured Roma characters in several books of his "Incarnations of Immortality" series. The portrayal was highly positive, and was in fact the first time I ever heard of the term "Roma" or anything else about these peoples beyond the mostly negative stereotype images of travelling fortune tellers that steal. I havent read these books in 10-15 years so I no longer remember which of the series contain Roma characters, but they were dominant in a few books. I think "Being a Green Mother" is one of them. Anyway if someone knows which of the series are relevant, they should be in here. Otherwise, perhaps the whole series ought to be cited? Murple 19:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds legit to me. Go ahead and add in the series. - TheMightyQuill 20:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
