Beskrivning

This book offers a comprehensive study of racialisation of Romani communities in Europe (and beyond). Drawing on the idea of unbelonging it demonstrates how Romani communities are placed in a position of visceral visibility by local, national and international institutions as well as public media discourses. It shows how such positionality impacts the ability of Roma to self-represent politically and build capacity for change. From the position of unbelonging the book offers an account of Romani agency which both challenges the mainstream representations of Roma but also develops an alternative none-nation-state sense of belonging. In doing so the book outlines an account of Romani alternative expressions in order to take control of their relationship with their own history, future, knowledge, and identity, and the rest of the society.

Recensioner i media

'The Politics of Unbelonging is a very timely and necessary intervention in the study of race, ethnicity, and notions of belonging to the state. This rigorous and captivating book captures how racialisation of Roma serves to reinforce ideas of unbelonging, helping us to understand how processes of exclusion work.'Professor Aidan McGarry, Loughborough University
