Ethel Brooks is a Romani academic and a feminist. Though she is based in the US, she has made significant contributions to the European Roma Movement. She always emphasizes that she brings in her community and her family into her work. We wanted to know that more precisely. So we talk a lot about Ethel's ancestors and family, about the Roma community in which she grew up, and about her work on gender studies and the Holocaust of the Sinti and Roma. We learn about her „Monument of Hope“ – and of course about her utopia for Europe.
