We are the Roma!
The Roma or Romani people, commonly called gypsies, comprise one of the largest ethnic minorities in the European Union, with significant populations in the Balkan Peninsula as well as Spain, France, Russia and the Ukraine. Despite EU legislation designed to protect them against racism, blatant and persistent persecution continues, both in newer member states such as Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, and in countries at the heart of the EU. Valeriu Nicolae gives voice to the Roma cause, offering a precise and candid look at their current situation.
Roma Diplomacy
Roma Diplomacy is an anthology of papers written or inspired by the DiploFoundation's 2005?2006 Roma Diplomacy project, aimed at facilitating the creation of Roma ?public diplomats? with the ability to bridge the gap between Roma civil society and governments/European Union institutions. The papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics'from a consideration of what the term Roma Diplomacy means to research aimed at promoting awareness of the situation of Roma in different regions and countries. Many of the papers offer recommendations for policymakers, providing a strong starting point for the emergence of a Roma ?think tank, ? one of the long-term goals of the Roma Diplomacy project.
The Nature of Prejudice
This book offers a critical synthesis of social psychology’s contribution to the study of contemporary racism, and proposes a critical reframing of our understanding of prejudice in European society today. Chapters place a special emphasis on the diversity and intensity of prejudices against Romani people in a liberal, progressive, decent, enlarged Europe. Chapters ask how we can reconcile the European creed of law, justice and freedom for all, with social and political practices that exclude and degrade Romani people. This volume addresses the need for a deeper recognition of societal foundations of ideologies of moral exclusion, and calls for a closer and more thorough investigation of p...
Minority Governance in and beyond Europe
Minority Governance in and beyond Europe offers a review of contemporary developments in minority relations. The publication addresses normative and institutional developments in a pan-European context. It tackles the theoretical and practical implications of power-sharing; the dichotomy of ‘old’ and ‘new’ minorities; human rights violations; public institutions for minority protection and abating discrimination; theoretical reflections on minority activism; political participation of minorities; justifications of minority protection; the evolution of language rights, and minorities in relation to EU law. It offers a lens that provides the reader with a clearer understanding about academic thinking and indicates where political will is needed to advance the minority rights protection regime in the future. Compiled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European Yearbook of Minority Issues, and offering a selection of the most important articles published in the Yearbook, this collection will be of great interest to scholars, students and policy-makers engaging in minority-related activities and interested in multiethnicity and cultural pluralism in Europe

La mia esagerata famiglia rom
Nato in una famiglia mista rom e romena, nei pressi di Craiova, Valeriu ha vissuto l’ultimo grigio ventennio del comunismo di Ceaușescu, l’epopea della rivoluzione, la transizione e l’approdo in Europa. Nel frattempo ha studiato e si è affrancato dai cliché comunemente usati per descrivere il suo popolo e a un certo punto ha iniziato a raccontare la sua vita dalle colonne del più importante settimanale romeno: i ricordi agrodolci degli amori e dei giochi d’infanzia, i personaggi eccentrici ed eccessivi di una famiglia allargata e ingombrante, la povertà, le avventure dell’adolescenza, le prime esperienze del razzismo, il riscatto, la ricerca di un’identità; e il volontariato con i bambini rom, le loro vicende familiari, gli eterni stereotipi, che ritornano sempre uguali e fanno fatica a scomparire. In questi densi racconti c’è tutto quello che vuol dire essere rom nell’Europa di oggi: le speranze e le risate, le umiliazioni e le battaglie. E un futuro ancora tutto da costruire.
From Victimhood to Citizenship
The disappointing results of over two decades of activism in the supposedly more liberal climate of post- Communist democracies prompted three renowned experts to exchange views, sometimes conflicting, about the situation of Roma in Eastern Europe. Their forthright statements stimulated other stakeholders at a workshop, and the distilled text of this discussion constitutes the fourth chapter of the book. While the book offers no easy solutions, the pre-eminence of its contributors and the lively arguments they provoked guarantee that it will be a touchstone for future debate as pro-Roma policies come under threat in Europe's time of crisis.
Nu tot ei!
Prefață de Gabriel Liiceanu „Trecând în revistă mai bine de o sută de CV-uri de parlamentari – o simplă mostră care dă seamă de vastitatea corupției autohtone –, Valeriu Nicolae pare să spună pentru prima oară un adevăr pe care îl ignorăm știindu-l: România se află pe mâna unei uriașe armate de impostori. Cartea pune de fapt în scenă o perplexitate: este oare adevărat ce trăim? Dând astfel glas unei stupefacții care ne încearcă pe toți, autorul a devenit o voce care răsună în vinovata noastră tăcere. Cât privește liniștea instalată în toate partidele în fața acestor pagini ale rușinii, ea vorbește de la sine despre punctul dramatic în care ...
Ethnopolitics in Cyberspace
Defying predictions that the Internet would eventually create a world where nations disappeared in favor of a unified 'global village, ' the new millennium has instead seen a proliferation of nationalism on the Web. Cyberspace, a vast digital terrain built upon interwoven congeries of data and sustained through countless public/private communication networks, has even begun to alter the very fabric of national identity. This is particularly true among stateless nations, diasporic groups, and national minorities, which have fashioned the Internet into a shield again the assimilating efforts of their countries of residence. As a deterritorialized medium that allows both selective consumption a...
