This is a well-researched, dense academic book, representing the many strategies of and efforts made by Roma people, especially women and youth, to demand equality and justice as well access to the tools that will lead to economic freedom. This book is for agents of change and organizers as much as for students of political theory… Highly recommended. Choice [The volume conveys] insights that are of the highest socio-political importance in view of the regression of democratic institutions in Europe and the (re-)strengthening of European racism and which need to be translated more strongly into politics, the media and civil society. Anthropos The book clarifies how the last decades have brought not only an intensification of structural violence against Roma but also more vocal claims for recognition and empowerment which have been driven by diverse Roma movements, activist groups supported by the European Union and other international players and philanthropic organizations… Overall, the authors of the book suggest a promising new action research agenda based on the triad of recognition, redistribution and representation. Ethnic and Racial Studies DESCRIPTION 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. Huub van Baar is Professor of Politics at Leuven International and European Studies (LINES), Faculty of Social Sciences, KU Leuven in Belgium. Angéla Kóczé is an Assistant Professor of Romani Studies and Academic Director of the Roma Graduate Preparation Program at Central European University in Budapest.
