The Culture and Persecution of the Gitanos |
 | | According to Quintana and Floyd, the persecution of the Gitanos served as a means to limit the Gypsy population and to end the existence of nomadic lifestyles.(19) Most laws were designed to be severe and many to keep the Gitanos tied to the land. |
 | | The crads used by the Gitanos are said to have been passed down from either the Egyptian or the Marseilles tarot. |
 | | The persecution of the Gitanos, as can be seen, has had its effects on the of the people of this race.Although the Spanish, for centuries, have tried to bury thier culture through oppressive laws, many of the ways of the Gypsies have survived to this day. |
