Résumé :
The community of itinerant entertainers formed a world of their own, with its own rules and traditions. They protected each other, which was vital when traveling between tightly knit, sedentary communities. They were foreign intruders whose “unearthly” talents were sometimes perceived as disturbing or dangerous […] and they were often
the object of harassment and persecution. Many gypsies and Jews joined their ranks and created their own performance dynasties.
