註釋
This is an ethnogeography, a regional ethnography, that focuses on an ambiguously defined ethnic group in the United States - Rom Gypsies - whose survival strategies and strategems appear to centre ideally on the secrecy and mobility of its members. Gypsy scholars are continually frustrated in their search for truth because Gypsies, especially in the US, remain ill-defined, incommensurable and impossible to map with any accuracy. The near absence of Gypsy-American landscapes and associated culture regions presents a challenge to traditional ethnography.
