European Social Integration and the Roma: Questioning Neoliberal Governmentality

By Cerasela Voiculescu

Book Overview

This book critically questions the current European neoliberal mentality of 'social inclusion' of Roma through a reflective historical ethnography of power relations among the Roma and state/non-state actors in Romania. It challenges the object of study within the field of Romani studies/policy oriented research, which concentrates almost exclusively on the 'marginality', 'poverty' and 'vulnerability' of the Roma. 'Historical geographies of power' are proposed as a new framework for the study of social power at group and individual level, in a dynamic historical perspective. This new framework can be applied to populations highly subjected to governmental power all over the world.
