Rajko Djuric was born in Malo Orasje, near Belgrade, in 1947.
After
receiving a Diploma in Philosophy at the Philosophical Faculty in Belgrade, he
went on to obtain a Doctorate of Sociology in 1986.
As a Rom
himself, he concentrates his writings, including his doctorate, mainly on the
culture an history of the Romani. His poetry
collection Without House of Grave brings
together the multifaceted history, ethnography, language, culture and politics
of the Roma people. His aim is to portray how, despite the absence of any
statehood or territory that the Roma people can call their own, they have
managed to preserve their cultural identity. His literary works have been
translated into more than five languages.
Mr. Djuric was, until recently, the President of the
International Romani Union and is the President of
the Romani Centre of International PEN.
He is
presently living in exile in Berlin, Germany, having fled Yugoslavia in October
1991 to avoid conscription into the army during the Balkan war.
He has
published several books and many articles in the former Yugoslavia, the United
States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy.
In 2002 he
was awarded Tocholsky award by Swedish PEN.
