Fifty years after first publication, one of the most important photobooks of the 20th century returns, offering an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of the Roma community in the 1960s and 1970s. Josef Koudelka's Gypsies remains one of his best-known series, offering a unique survey of the lives of the Roma community across then-Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary, France and Spain between 1962 and 1971. Originally published in 1975, five years after Koudelka left Prague following the Soviet Union's invasion, Gypsies is a classic of documentary photography. Now returning in its original, hardback format, this timely new edition is as much a pioneering photoessay as it is a lesson in book making. Carrying only his equipment, a rucksack and sleeping bag, Koudelka journeyed between different village and encampments. His nomadic existence, defined by a sense of displacement, allowed him to gain the trust of the Roma communities he encountered. The resulting series eschews the often-derogatory depictions of the community to instead provide unparalleled insight into their world, shining a light on their traditions, struggles and routines. The Roma in these images were photographed mostly in a state that no longer exists, ruled by a regime that dissolved in 1989. With such few historical depictions, Gypsies is not only a testament to the beauty of photography, but a vital historical document of a community often relegated to the shadows. Arriving at a moment of contemporary unrest and social marginalization, Gypsies is a poignant reminder of the often bleak reality of the disenfranchised, and the power of photography to bear witness.

A manifesto for museological change that examines the outcome when acquisitions policies, permanent collections and exhibitions become increasingly important battlegrounds for social justice. Museums are facing a reckoning. Thrust to the forefront of difficult conversations around toxic philanthropy, increased corporatization, decolonization, repatriation and legacies of theft and looting, many of our cultural institutions are undergoing a period of radical transformation, seemingly redefining their very function and mission to address new public concerns. But who owns the past? How bloody is too bloody? And whose museum is this, truly? Museums and Social Justice addresses these questions and more, shedding light on pressing issues such as why an oil giant attempted to sponsor an arctic exhibition at the British Museum; why Berlin's Humbolt Forum is exhibiting British-looted objects from Benin; and why the Baltimore Museum of Art has made a public commitment to acquire more works by women artists. Using such events as case studies, Dr. Maura Reilly engages with pioneering arguments in and around matters of diversity, access to heritage, decolonization, patrimony and racial equality, and outlines specific action plans to confront these challenges, avoid reputational controversy and maintain confidence in our public institutions.

Documenting the author's experiences in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Tony Rossiter offers a revealing and fascinating insight into life as a British diplomat during this tumultuous period.

A sobering revelation of the law's ramped-up attacks on the most vulnerable among us, and what to do about it Pink Crime is a revealing and deeply researched examination of the strategic use of criminal law by today's right-wing movement to limit the bodily autonomy of women and queer people. The criminal justice system increasingly targets the most vulnerable populations, particularly women, pregnant individuals, and queer people. This powerful book examines the alarming rate of wrongful convictions among women, uncovering how bias, stigma, and unreliable evidence have led to prosecution where no crime occurred. It paints a disturbing picture of how the deaths of loved ones--whether a husband who passed in his sleep or a child with a health condition--have been twisted into false accusations of murder due to systemic prejudices and prosecutorial overreach. The book goes beyond wrongful convictions to explore the criminalization of identity, revealing how today's legal system disproportionately punishes actions related to pregnancy, motherhood, and queer identity. Pink Crime emphasizes how these legal mechanisms not only strip away basic rights but also lay the groundwork for even more oppressive measures in the future. This deep and comprehensive analysis provides readers with historical context, real-life case studies, and a legal framework to understand the current threat posed by the strategic use of criminal law. By examining the interplay of wrongful convictions and the criminalization of vulnerable communities, the book offers vital insights into the coercive power of the legal system. It serves as a wake-up call to advocates, lawyers, and citizens, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to push back against these injustices and fight for systemic reform to protect bodily autonomy and fundamental rights.
