Who are the romani people? They are, Yaron Matras writes, a nation like no other, without territory, sovereignty or institutions, and with no tradition of agriculture or ownership of land. Yet they are also a model of cultural tolerance and flexibility who “are the only nation in Europe and western Asia that has never declared war on another nation and that has never tried to subjugate others into adopting its ways”. We have a lot to learn from them.
