“…As we document in our report (Fiałkowska, Garapich, and Mirga-Wójtowicz 2018), intensive migrations in the 1990s have had an enormous impact on Polish Roma. One of the key testimonies comes from the accounts of a Gadjo, Romani-speaking teacher and writer, Jacek Milewski (2008;, whose selection of short stories is probably the most contemporary, vivid, and accurate account of Polish Roma lives.…”

The article discusses the case of academic silence with regards to the migration of Roma from Poland – both in Polish Romani studies and in migration studies. The absence of Romani migration in migration research in Poland is contrasted with the absence of the subject of migration in Romani studies, offering a glimpse into fundamental assumptions, and politically and ideologically determined paradigms within both areas. Paradoxically, the group associated in the social imaginary with mobility is absent in migration studies in Poland. Quite surprisingly, Polish Roma are static and immobilized in Polish Romani studies. The aim ofthis paper is to critically explore this particular type of discursive silence and how it impacts migration and Romani studies.

“…Methodologically, this article is a literature-based analysis of Polish migration and Romani studies, and analyses theoretical and conceptual reasons for silence at the point of their intersection -the migration of Polish Roma. It is, as well, grounded in our observations, which come out of an extensive ethnographic study focused on the migration of Polish Roma, conducted in various locations in Poland and the UK during 2016 to 2018 (Fiałkowska, Garapich, and Mirga-Wójtowicz 2019). The article first constructs our view on various reasons behind social, cultural, and academic silencing of Roma, and the ways in which this silencing occurs.…”

“…Their migrations prior to 2004 could not be categorically classified as political or economic, even if their asylum applications referred to rising racism and discrimination (Acton and Ingmire 2012). From Roma narratives collected during our study (Fiałkowska, Garapich, Mirga-Wójtowicz 2019), it is clear that the decision had also to do with a personal sense of security, perspectives regarding education for their children, more opportunities, and finally being able to live in a country where you are not an outcast. This is highly problematic, given that Roma, along with vast sections of the Polish working class and rural population, were the first victims of economic transformation.…”

Aims and Scope Critical Romani Studies is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal providing a forum for activist-scholars to critically examine racial oppressions, different forms of exclusion, inequalities, and human rights abuses of Roma. Without compromising academic standards of evidence collection and analysis, the Journal seeks to create a platform to critically engage with academic knowledge production, and generate critical academic and policy knowledge targeting-amongst others-scholars, activists, and policymakers. Scholarly expertise is a tool, rather than the end, for critical analysis of social phenomena affecting Roma, contributing to the fight for social justice. The Journal especially welcomes the cross-fertilization of Romani studies with the fields of critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, critical policy studies, diaspora studies, colonial studies, postcolonial studies, and studies of decolonization. The Journal actively solicits papers from critically-minded young Romani scholars who have historically experienced significant barriers in engaging with academic knowledge production. The Journal considers only previously unpublished manuscripts which present original, high-quality research. The Journal is committed to the principle of open access, so articles are available free of charge. All published articles undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editorial screening and refereeing by at least two anonymous scholars. The Journal provides a modest but fair remuneration for authors, editors, and reviewers. The Journal has grown out of the informal Roma Research and Empowerment Network, and it is founded by the Romani Studies Program of Central European University and the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture. The Romani Studies Program at CEU organizes conferences annually where draft papers are presented and discussed before selecting them for peer review.

“…Obraz jeszcze bardziej komplikuje fakt, że od 2004 r. Wielka Brytania, a szczególnie Londyn, stała się centrum polskojęzycznych zborów Świadków Jehowy 23 , a wspomniana już J. Krotofil dokumentuje i analizuje rosnącą liczbę polskich konwertytów na islam 24 . Podobnie jak partycypacja polityczna, heterogeniczność życia religijnego Polaków na Wyspach pokazuje, jakim dynamicznym procesom różnicującym jest poddana ta populacja.…”
