Synopsis

The book is the first attempt in Europe within the last 20 years to bring knowledge about the Roma educational issues of preschool and primary school children.

It is structured in three parts: History of Roma education, Romani psycholinguistics and Roma Holocaust education. 

The first part of the book deals with the educational issues of Roma and its development during the last 20 years in Europe. Here the author presents some insight? views and understandings? of Roma education, development of the Roma school mediators and a review of the introduction of Romani language education in Bulgaria. The second part discusses mainly the issues of language education of Roma children – the acquisition of Romani and the issues of second language learning by Roma children. The third part presents the issues of Roma holocaust education as a part of the history education of Roma children.

The socio-cultural and linguistic issues are important for Roma children education and with the new ideas the book can be very helpful for students in the field of intercultural education, educational psychology and social work.
