Living with the Roma in Kosovo

Articles about living with the Roma in Kosovo in 2002. Personal experiences described by Scott Van Wagenen: "This series was compiled over the course of my 7 month stay in Kosovo where I lived with a Roma family and worked in a youth center. While it began as a series of informal posts, it has since been edited and expanded in hopes that more cohesion to the pieces would serve to better illustrate the catastrophe that is Kosovo and it's mostly silent victims."
