About this product
Product Information
They are reviled. For centuries the Roma have wandered Europe; during the Holocaust half a million were killed. After World War II and during the Troubles, a wave of Irish Travellers moved to England to make a better, safer life. They found places to settle down - but then, as Occupy was taking over Wall Street and London, the vocal Dale Farm community in Essex was evicted from their land. Many did not leave quietly; they put up a legal and at times physical fight. Award-winning journalist Katharine Quarmby takes us into the heat of the battle, following the Sheridan, McCarthy, Burton and Townsley families before and after the eviction, from Dale Farm to Meriden and other trouble spots. Based on exclusive access over the course of seven years and rich historical research, No Place to Call Home is a stunning narrative of long-sought justice.

Reviews
"Essential reading for anyone who wants to get beyond the flippant, homogenising headlines." - Literary Review "With a keen sense of compassion and unwavering frankness, Katharine Quarmby breaks through rigid stereotypes and leads us into the communities that have remained for so long without a voice of their own." —Oksana Marafioti, author of American Gypsy: A Memoir "The eviction of gypsies from Dale Farm forms the focus of a fascinating look at the interplay across decades of anti-gypsy sentiment with issues of poverty, immigration, and countercultural groups as they influence local and national politics." — Booklist "Fuelled by righteous fury [and] whole-hearted... As an exposure of the modern troubles of these unique tight-knit communities of Travellers, it sets you travelling on the right road." — Guardian "An admirably measured and authoritative portrait of a diverse, isolated and often wilfully misunderstood minority… Wise, quietly incandescent [and] insightful." — Telegraph "Powerful... An important book by an impressive journalist." — Observer "Katharine Quarmby has gone where most journalists never dare to tread... Excellent." — Traveller Times "The story of the most persistent and socially acceptable form of racism in the country... Deserves to be given due prominence." — Herald "The great strength of this book lies in the access Quarmby had to those who stories she seeks to tell [and] most important is the human face the book gives to people often deprived of one... No Place to Call Home raises bigger issues about socially isolated and alienated groups everywhere." — New Statesman " No Place to Call Home is without doubt a masterpiece. Quarmby put the jigsaw together, and left out the lies and propaganda.... Frank and powerful." —Jess Smith, Scottish Traveller and author of Jessie's Journey "If you only know what My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding has told you, then what a strange view you must have of the Gypsy and Traveller community! Quarmby's book is the first serious account of who we really are, our history and endless struggles... An excellent book." —Candy Sheridan, Irish Traveller and Vice Chair of the Gypsy Council, "Essential reading for anyone who wants to get beyond the flippant, homogenising headlines." - Literary Review "With a keen sense of compassion and unwavering frankness, Katharine Quarmby breaks through rigid stereotypes and leads us into the communities that have remained for so long without a voice of their own." --Oksana Marafioti, author of American Gypsy: A Memoir "The eviction of gypsies from Dale Farm forms the focus of a fascinating look at the interplay across decades of anti-gypsy sentiment with issues of poverty, immigration, and countercultural groups as they influence local and national politics." -- Booklist "Fuelled by righteous fury [and] whole-hearted...

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
