Responding to overwhelming demand for the book Colours of Hope, which was first published by the RSG in 2003 and sold out last year, we have now reprinted new copies for sale.
“Colours of Hope: A Little Book by Roma Refugee Children for Everybody” is a pictorial book over 60 pages long written and illustrated by Roma refugee and asylum-seeking children from all over London. Unlike many other books dealing with refugee issues, Colours of Hope does not focus solely on racism and hardship. It also combines a range of topics, such as identity, impressions of life in London, family, culture and expectations for the future. The theme of the book sheds light on the aspirations, dreams and hopes of Roma children and it can be used in schools, libraries and other organisations to promote tolerance and a better understanding of this fascinating culture.
Colours of Hope “…has given a voice to one of the most marginalised groups in our society, the children of refugees. It celebrates the literacy of young Roma growing up in Britain, and the energy, talent and creativity that they are sharing with the wider community to the benefit of us all”. (The Lecturer, July 2004)
