Sharon Bohn Gmelch: Irish Travellers: The Unsettled Life, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Anthropologists George and Sharon Gmelch have been studying the itinerant people known as Travellers since their fieldwork in the early 1970s, when they lived among Travellers and went on the road in their own horse-drawn wagon. In 2011 they returned to seek out families they had known decades before - shadowed by a film crew and taking with them hundreds of old photographs that they shared with Traveller friends and acquaintances. Many of those photos are included in this book, alongside more recent photos and personal narratives that reveal how Traveller lives have changed and what it means to be a Traveller today.
