Full Description
Defining the framing and manifestations of anti-Roma racism, this book explores the continuities of anti-Roma racism and its contrasts and similarities with other systems of oppression.
The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism: (Un)uttered Sentences offers a theoretical perspective on the roots of anti-Roma racism, placing its genesis in the system of slavery in the historical territories of present-day Romania and the politics of expulsions, killings, displacement, Roma hunts, and entry-bans across Europe in the Middle Ages. Employing the theoretical frameworks of racial formation and racialization of W.E.B. Du Bois, Stuart Hall, and Michael Omi, this book details the intricate interactions and manifestations of anti-Roma racism's historical roots, enduring legacies, and continuities to conceptualize anti-Roma racism as a structural form of oppression.
This scholarly work is essential for policy makers and courses on the sociology of race, global race and racism, and modern European history as it takes on the task of defining, categorizing, and unpacking the processes and mechanisms involved in anti-Roma racism.
