informative sad fast-paced

I read the English translation of this, which included a fair number of typos, and which at times made me wonder if the original meaning had been fully conveyed.

Overall, though, it was quite interesting to read a book in which concepts of civil liberties as defined by Black American activists were applied to other cultures. I get the impression that "intersectionality" is not a common phrase in Serbia, although it's very applicable to this topic. I know almost nothing about Roma issues and identity, which is one reason I picked up this paper in the first place, but if this paper makes anything clear, it's that, once again, all of these issues are related. Addressing one issue/topic at a time does not work, because oppression is intersectional, too.
