English – Kalderash”—the most detailed dictionaries of
the Romani language to date—will be released by Magoria Books. Researched and compiled by Ronald Lee, the

“Romani Dictionary: Gurbeti – English / English – Gurbeti” will be published.
Compiled by Hedina Sijerčić, the author of numerous Romani books and the translator of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's
“The Little Prince” into Gurbeti Romani, it is an invaluable tool for those wishing to learn or study
this Romani dialect spoken primarily in Bosnia, Serbia, and the rest of the former Yugoslavia as well as
abroad by the large and literarily active diaspora borne of the Balkan wars.

A book on Romani history and historical linguistics by Dr. Ian Hancock, director of
the Romani Archives and Documentation Center containing the results
of as yet unpublished research, sure to be of interest to both Romani students and Romani academics.

A textbook on the Romani holocaust, designed for use in schools, meant to enable teachers
throughout the English-speaking world to open their students' eyes to the more than a million Roma victims
of the Nazi regime, who remain all too often glossed over or forgotten altogether in classroom instruction.
