Queer Roma
This book offers in-depth insight into the lives of queer Roma, thus providing rich evidence of the heterogeneity of Roma. The lived experiences of queer Roma, which are very diverse regionally and otherwise, pose a fundamental challenge to one-dimensional, negative misrepresentations of Roma as homophobic and antithetical to European and Western modernity. The book platforms Romani agency and voices in an original and novel way. This enables the reader to feel the individuals behind the data, which detail stories of rejection by Romani families and communities, and non-Romani communities; and unfamiliar, ground-breaking stories of acceptance by Romani families and communities. Combining int...
Transgender and Non-Binary People in Everyday Sport
This formative work discusses transgender people’s inclusion in everyday sport in the United Kingdom. It adopts a trans feminist approach to explore pivotal issues regarding the barriers to participation faced by transgender and non-binary people. Offering a critical perspective on the current landscape surrounding this topic, the book draws from insightful interviews conducted by the author with 18 transgender and non-binary individuals. The author uses a critical social science approach to explore the heteropatriarchal construction of sport in the modern industrialised West, and how this has formed the backdrop to the continuing discrimination towards many athletes, not just those who ar...
Queer and Trans People of Colour in the UK
This book explores the meanings of Queer and Trans People of Colour (QTPOC) activist groups in the UK, considering the tensions around inclusion and belonging across lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) and of colour communities and wider British society. Davis draws de-/anti-/post-colonial, Black feminist, and queer theory into critical psychology to publish the first book of its kind in the UK, developing an intersectional understanding of QTPOC subjectivities and identities. The book examines questions of belonging; racial melancholia; decolonising gender and sexualities; and the joys, erotics, and the difficulties of building and finding QTPOC community that can hold and celebrate our intersectional richness. Offering a radical and critical intervention into psychology, this volume will be of key interest to scholars in Gender Studies and Queer Studies, Psychology and Race, together with activists, community organisers, counsellors, and the third sector.
Gypsies, Roma and Travellers
Essential reading for those who want to develop greater knowledge and awareness of the history, culture and lifestyles of GRT people. There are many misconceptions about the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in the UK and Ireland. Little is understood of their culture and they are often marginalised by society. This book dispels many of the myths and gives a compassionate and empathetic view of the daily struggles they face including discrimination, racism and poverty. It also reviews criticisms directed at them and determines whether these are justified. Services are analysed to establish what works and what is weak. Packed with expert opinions from professionals working in the field and case studies and vignettes, garnered from personal interviews by the author with GRT people. Drawing from a wide range of perspectives from both inside and outside the respective communities, this book provides readers with all the key elements required to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of these remarkable communities and their cultures.

Romaphobia
Based on first-hand accounts from Roma communities, Romaphobia is an examination of the discrimination faced by one of the most persecuted groups in Europe. Well-researched and informative, it shows that this discrimination has its roots in the early history of the European nation-state, and the ways in which the landless Roma have been excluded from national communities founded upon a notion of belonging to a particular territory. Romaphobia allows us to unpick this relationship between identity and belonging, and shows the way towards the inclusion of Roma in society, providing vital insights for other marginalized communities.
Realizing Roma Rights
Realizing Roma Rights investigates anti-Roma racism and documents a growing Roma-led political movement engaged in building a more inclusive and just Europe. The book brings to the forefront voices of leading and emerging Romani scholars, from established human rights experts to policy and advocacy leaders with deep experience. Realizing Roma Rights offers detailed accounts of anti-Roma racism, political and diplomatic narratives chronicling the development of European and American policy, and critical examination of Roma-related discourse and policies in contemporary Europe. It also investigates the complex role of the European Union as a driver of progressive change and a flawed implemente...
Staging Differences: Orientierungen, Kategorisierungen und Identitätspolitiken in Theater und Performance
Ausgehend von den theaterwissenschaftlichen Teilprojekten des Mainzer Sonderforschungsbereichs 1482 Humandifferenzierung versammelt das Themenheft unterschiedliche Beiträge zu der Frage, welche Identitäten und Humandifferenzierungen in Theater und Performance der Gegenwart auf welche Weise verhandelt und erzeugt werden. Theater kann hier nicht allein als Spiegel der Gesellschaft und kulturelle Organisation, sondern auch als Ort und Praxis kollektiver Erfahrung und Orientierung (Ahmed), der Dis/identifikation (Muñoz) sowie eines utopischen Un/Doings und World-Buildings fungieren. Staging Differences verweist mithin auf vergangene und gegenwärtige, aber auch zukünftige Verhandlungen von normativen sowie nicht-normativen (feministischen, queeren, crip, neuroqueeren und PoC-) Positionierungen und Praktiken der Humandifferenzierung im Sinne ihrer Kritik, DeKonstruktion und ReProduktion.
Bildung für Newcomer
Karin Cudak untersucht in diesem Buch die unterschiedlichen Strategien von Schulen und Kommunen in ihrem Umgang mit Mobilität und Diversität, welche sie am Beispiel zweier postindustrieller Regionen in Deutschland und Großbritannien aufgreift. Entlang eines aktuellen Mobilitätsphänomens, nämlich der Einwanderung aus Südosteuropa sowie der mit ihr verknüpften Debatte um ‚Armutsflucht‘, wird die Eigenlogik lokaler Bildungskulturen im Kontext von Quartier und Stadtgesellschaft deutlich: Während die einen auf eine längst überholte ‚Ausländerpädagogik‘ rekurrieren, stellen sich die anderen bereits inklusionsorientiert auf.
