The Gitanos of el Rastro carry an ‘ontology of simultaneity'as self-employed traders and Pentecostal practitioners in Madrid. This makes the Spanish Romani be considered as both a part of and apart from mainstream society. This book is an anthropological account of a group of middle and upper-class Gitanos and their ways of creating a ‘society within society'based upon distinct cultural, moral and ideological values, notions and practices. The study renders a comprehensive perspective on social processes of classification, stratification, ‘othering'and the role of ‘strangers'in society and how these processes unfold in the interface between social, ritual and economic life on a local to global scale. |
