Introduction to the Journal
Purpose/Focus of the Journal and Website
Although a number of articles have appeared regarding the Dom people the overwhelming majority of studies, articles,
linguistic analyses and historical investigations have focused on the Roma. The Dom Research Center and
its electronic publication, KURI - DRJournal, provide an accessible forum for discussion and publication
of materials related to the Dom. At times the discussion will broaden to include other areas where the Dom are
found or where the investigation of their history leads. While the DRC
Website provides data that allows
one to survey the larger arena of Dom research, the journal houses information produced and/or provided by the
Dom Research Center. From January 2000 until the Fall/Winter 2006, two editions of the Kuri Journal were put on line each year.
Beginning in 2009 articles will be posted to the Kuri Journal as they are contributed. Substantive responses to
the authors will be posted as well.
KURI The Dom are a very diverse people as illustrated by their sundry dwellings. Today they live in tents, huts,
apartments and houses. The name designating the Dom Research Center's journal is a term taken from Domari.
"Kuri" is a broad term referring to a variety of dwellings including a tent or a house. The editors of
the journal feel that the term captures something of the diversity of this group of people. In turn, the journal
is a means by which the diverse nature of the Dom can be elucidated. At times, the reader may see "KURI
- DRJournal" as an alternate designation for the journal.
