Roma Activism: Reimagining Power and Knowledge

ISBN 10 : 1785339486 ISBN 13 : 9781785339486

Editeur : Berghahn Books, 2018

Synopsis

Exploring contemporary debates and developments in Roma-related research and forms of activism, this volume argues for taking up reflexivity as practice in these fields, and advocates a necessary renewal of research sites, methods, and epistemologies. The contributors gathered here - whose professional trajectories often lie at the confluence between activism, academia, and policy or development interventions - are exceptionally well placed to reflect on mainstream practices in all these fields, and, from their particular positions, envision a reimagining of these practices.
