The Public Attitudes Gypsies - Bulgarians
The Public Attitudes Gypsies - Bulgarians

Summary/Abstract: The present paper does not intend to draw generalizations about the image of the Gypsies in present-day Bulgarian society, all the more so because the efforts of a number of research and social workers and politicians have not produced satisfactory results in this respect. As practice has made it clear, generalizations and universal prescriptions do not produce the most perspective means of projecting the image of the "other" - in this case of the (Gypsy) minority, in the eyes of the (Bulgarian) majority. What I am trying to do is to present to you an isolated case - the experience the National Ethnographic Museum (NEM) at the Bulgarian Academy of Science (BAS) gained as a result of an ethnographic exhibition about the Bulgarian Gypsies.
