#48 Isabelle Fonseca's: Bury Me Standing!


Listen Later

We're a bit late, but July was quite hectic for us! Between a bachelor's party, wedding, and some other family events, it took a little while for us to be able to sit down and record, but here we are.

 

July's pick was Ian's, and he chose: Bury Me Standing by Isabelle Fonseca which details her journey through eastern Europe while she lived among the Roma people. This text explores not only the culture and traditions of the Roma, but also how they fit into, and have been received by various parts of the world. Among the interactions, Fonseca stays with people in Albania, Romania, Germany, and more, and learns how they see and exist in the world. Although this book came out in 1992, there are a huge amount of interesting interactions to learn from, and may have motivated Ian and Ronnie to find a more contemporary text to see how things have changed over the last twenty years. 

 

August's pick is Ronnie's, and she chose: The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland!
