TEXTURES OF BELONGING
<\/a>Senses, Objects and Spaces of Romanian Roma<\/strong>
Andreea Racle\u015f<\/em>

The longstanding European conception that Roma and non-Roma are separated by unambiguous socio-cultural distinctions has led to the construction of Roma as \u201cnon-belonging others.\u201d Challenging this conception, Textures of Belonging<\/em> explores how Roma negotiate and feel belonging at the everyday level. Inspired by material culture, sensorial anthropology, and human geography approaches, this book uses ethnographic research to examine the role of domestic material forms and their sensorial qualities in nurturing connections with people and places that transcend socio-political boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ROMA AND THEIR STRUGGLE FOR IDENTITYIN CONTEMPORARY EUROPE<\/a>
Edited by Huub van Baar and Ang\u00e9la K\u00f3cz\u00e9<\/em>

Thirty years after the collapse of Communism, and at a time of increasing anti-migrant and anti-Roma sentiment, this book analyses how Roma identity is expressed in contemporary Europe. From backgrounds ranging from political theory, postcolonial, cultural and gender studies to art history, feminist critique and anthropology, the contributors reflect on the extent to which a politics of identity regarding historically disadvantaged, racialized minorities such as the Roma can still be legitimately articulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INWARD LOOKING<\/a>
The Impact of Migration on Romanipe from the Romani Perspective<\/strong>
Aleksandar G. Marinov<\/em>

At present, Roma are an integral part of Europe, though they face structural and social inequalities and different forms of exclusion and discrimination. Inward Looking<\/em> seeks to understand the relationship between Romani identity, performance and migration. Particularly, it studies the idea of \u2018Romanipe\u2019 through the prism of the personal accounts of Romani migrants.It also seeks to understand the relationships between the Romani groups in Europe, due to their increased travel and convergence, and predict the effects of migration on (new) Romani consciousness. The findings are based on qualitative data gathered from Romani migrants from three towns in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>
In the course of the twenty-first century, Europe has become aware that the Roma are its largest minority, with an estimated population of 11 million people. As a result, Romani Studies has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that offers perspectives derived from the humanities and social sciences in the context of state and transnational institutions.
