Opis

The first book-length comparison of Roma and African Americans, this work will appeal to scholars of civil rights, comparative law, European studies, Romani studies, and cultural studies. Its interdisciplinary approach and engagement with central questions in rights movements also make this book a valuable resource for policymakers and activists.

Recenzje

'This long-awaited book connects the perspectives on, tactics of, and struggles for Roma rights in Central and Southeast Europe and civil rights in the United States. The diachronic comparison of racialized Roma and African American experiences enters into a dialogue to understand local histories and structural discrimination and exclusion. This  book encourages us to build understanding and seek solidarities with other racialized groups to challenge violent social, political, and economic dynamics. Roma Rights and Civil Rights paves the way to create epistemic connections between Roma and African Americans.' Angéla Kóczé, Sociologist, Acting Chair of Romani Studies Program, Central European University
