Paperback. Zustand: New. A crucial contribution to Romani studies focuses on a single Slovak village to explore universal issues of belonging.   In this important contribution to contemporary Romani studies, Jan Ort focuses his anthropological research on a village in eastern Slovakia reputed for the ostensibly seamless coexistence of its ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous inhabitants. Ort offers an ethnographic critique of this idyllic view, showing how historical shifts, as well as the naturalization of inequality and hierarchies, have led to the present situation between the village's Roma inhabitants and other ethnic populations. However, he also shows examples and methods of subversion and resistance to the village's current power dynamics. Based primarily on participant observation within Roma families, Ort's long-term research results in a fascinating book replete with ethnographic descriptions that allow readers to understand local experiences, contexts, and divisions. These insights about the village lead to the key question of the book: Who actually is a local.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Reexamines mid-60's state policies toward Czechoslovak Roma from the overlooked perspective of the Roma people themselves. The story of Romani people in communist Czechoslovakia has long been framed by a discriminatory policy of assimilation, and thus by fatal interventions into Romani family ties and their broader socio-cultural systems. Paradoxically, such a narrative failed to integrate the perspective of the Roma themselves, who often associated the same period with an unprecedented experience of social inclusion and material security. In this book, Jan Ort examines the state policy that in the mid-1960s aimed at the definitive elimination of "G*psy backwardness" through the placement of thousands of Roma families in non-Roma society, thus becoming a symbol of the social engineering interventions of the Communist regime in the lives of Czechoslovak Roma. In contrast to the predominant focus on the perspective of state authorities, Ort seeks to map the practice of this policy in specific places with an emphasis on the experiences and agency of the Roma themselves, especially those who had their homes in eastern Slovakia. In the empirical richness of a micro-historical approach, Roma as Agents of the "G*psy Question" uncovers the diverse stories of ordinary Roma who were able to incorporate various aspects of state policy into their own lives without necessarily giving up their distinctive cultural identity.…
