As a key traditional trait of Serbian Gypsies, storytelling, conveyed along kin generations, influences the behavior of all who listen. Since their appearance in the Balkans centuries ago, an insecure social environment has shaped their cultural traditions, including that of storytelling. Their traditional stories reaffirm the strong identity with their kinship group, yet, at the same time, plead loudly for recognition from outsiders. The success achieved by Gypsies in maintaining themselves and their culture can be attributed, in large measure, to the power of their traditional stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jelena Cvorovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631604033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631604038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jelena Cvorovic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083269677311,"sku":"9783631604038","price":43.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roast-chicken-and-other-gypsy-jelena-cvorovic-9783631604038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
