Le résumé fourni par la source

The paper explores how Violet Cannon, a Romany Gypsy writer, poignantly presents the saga of Gypsy life in her memoir Gypsy Princess: The True Story of a Romany Childhood.In her own inimitable way, she presents a 'subaltern' view of Romany life.She resists the silencing of Romany racial history.To her, writing is a kind of excavation and a means of offering correctives to canons of memory as well as to the strange ways of memory politicians.The paper also focuses on Violet's fortitude, as revealed in her bold decision to leave a loveless marital relationship and carve out her own path in life.She proves that a Romani woman can 'speak' for herself and challenge patriarchy.The way she speaks for herself and her community raises questions regarding the role of high-brow feminism and paves the way for 'Romani feminism'.
