Lavishly printed in a unique quadratone mix by artisanal printer Gerhard Steidl, it offers an expanded look at \"Cikáni\" (Czech for \"gypsies\" )--109 photographs of Roma society taken between 1962 and 1971 in then-Czechoslovakia (Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia), Romania, Hungary, France and Spain. The design and edit for this volume revisits the artist's original intention for the work, and is based on a maquette originally prepared in 1968 by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva. Koudelka intended to publish the work in Prague, but was forced to flee Czechoslovakia, landing eventually in Paris. In 1975, Robert Delpire, Aperture and Koudelka collaborated to publish \u003ci\u003eGitans, la fin du voyage\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e, in the English-language edition), a selection of 60 photographs taken in various Roma settlements around East Slovakia. \u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e includes more than 30 never-before-published images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a revised and enlarged version of the original maquette for Josef Koudelka's \u003ci\u003eCikáni\u003c\/i\u003e (Czech for \u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e) prepared by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kop\u0026amp;rcaron;iva in 1968, and intended for publication in Prague in 1970. Koudelka left Czechoslovakia in 1970 after extensively documenting the Russian invasion of Prague in August 1968. The book was never published in that original form.\u003cbr\u003e This extended version consists of 109 photographs taken between 1962 and 1971 in what was, at the time, Czechoslovakia (Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia), Romania, Hungary, France, and Spain. The word \u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e (the common name for this group when the photographs were taken between 1962 and 1971, before the current term \u003ci\u003eRoma\u003c\/i\u003e was established) is used as the book title.\u003cbr\u003e Sociologist Will Guy, author of the text that accompanied the first publication of \u003ci\u003eGypsies\u003c\/i\u003e, has contributed an updated essay, tracing the migration of the Roma from their original homeland in northern India, to their current status--one that continues to be contested internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 12.7 x 9.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53205289828715,"sku":"9781597111775","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8401\/2907\/files\/5c0b0d213a517753bbccd5c3f8939339.webp?v=1778448626","url":"https:\/\/fraulick.com\/products\/koudelka-gypsies-hardcover","provider":"frauLick.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
