“…A produção de conhecimento sobre os ciganos no Brasil ainda é escassa (Ferrari, & Frotta, 2014), assim como são poucas as políticas públicas de garantia de direitos a essa população (por exemplo: Lima, 2014;Moonen, 2013; Secretaria de Políticas de Promoção da Igualdade Racial -Seppir, 2013a;b). Apesar dos desafios envolvidos no desenvolvimento de pesquisas com os ciganos (por exemplo: Condon et al, 2019;Durst, & Nyírő, 2018;Messing, 2019), entender como os grupos étnicos ciganos valorizam e lutam pela manutenção de suas identidades nos modos de vida contemporâneos apresenta-se como tarefa de grande relevância (Cittadini, 2018;Heaslip, & Smith, 2016;Simões, 2014), tendo em vista a necessidade de contribuir para a visibilidade e o reconhecimento social dessa minoria, pouco conhecida, mas que há séculos vive sob a sombra do preconceito e da discriminação social, no Brasil e em vários contextos geográficos do mundo (por exemplo: Acton, 2018;Hutchison, Chihade, & Puiu, 2018;Kende, Hadaricsa, & Lášticováb, 2017;Law, & Kovats, 2018;Lima, 2014;Lima, Faro, & Santos, 2016;Miškolci, Kováčová,, & Rigová, 2018;Moonen, 2012;Powell, 2008;Powell, & Lever, 2017;Tremlett, 2017;Villano, Fontanella, Fontanella, & Donato, 2017;Wallace, Townsend, & Salemink, 2018).…”

Resumo Compreendendo fases sucessivas do momento de proteção, aprendizagem e preparação para se tornarem adultas, na infância, as crianças ciganas vão sendo formadas para uma vida em grupo e voltada para o núcleo familiar. A partir dos conceitos de socialização étnica e de identidade social, o estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de analisar o universo psicossocial da infância calin entre crianças de etnia calon no estado do Espírito Santo. Participaram do estudo sete crianças, com idades entre 4 e 12 anos, que compõem a terceira geração da comunidade, a primeira após processo de fixação territorial. As entrevistas foram orientadas por um roteiro semiestruturado explorando os universos da lei cigana, tradições do grupo e vivências cotidianas, bem como técnicas de desenho a fim de conhecer as imagens de si, da família e de futuro. Todas as entrevistas foram realizadas no acampamento cigano e os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de conteúdo temática. Os principais resultados demonstraram que as crianças calin destacam em suas narrativas a vivência da lei cigana e das tradições por meio do uso de vestimentas típicas e da língua caló, moradia em tendas e obediência às normas para o matrimônio, bem como relatam rotinas envolvendo brincadeiras, escolarização e atividades de mediação para o universo adulto. Nesse contexto, manifestam-se movimentos de resistência do grupo, em que a nova geração teria como tarefa manter os elementos identitários essenciais da cultura cigana e criar recursos para manutenção de sua sociabilidade em trânsito nas fronteiras com o mundo não cigano.

“…During World War II, Roma people were considered “sub‐human” by Nazi Germany and exterminated in concentration camps, along with the Jewish population. Today, anti‐Roma (or anti‐”Gypsy”) sentiments represent a multifaceted amalgam of attitudes and beliefs, including stereotypes arising from exotic myths (Pivetti, Melotti, & Bonomo, ), and extraordinarily high levels of prejudice (Villano, Fontanella, Fontanella, & Di Donato, ). Despite cultural differences that exist across the countries in which the Roma live, Roma people are described by similar characteristics, including untruthful, criminal, passive, aggressive, and lazy (Barberet & García‐España, ; Kende, Hadarics, & Lášticová, ; Lášticová & Findor, ; Ljujic, Vedder, Dekker, & Van Geel, ; Villano et al, ).…”

The present research focused on two primary goals: (a) identifying the content of sentiments about the Roma to which Hungarians are exposed during everyday family conversations, and (b) determining which types of everyday sentiments about the Roma most strongly predict Hungarian respondents’ anti‐Roma prejudice. Content analyzing open‐ended responses from a representative sample of Hungarians (N = 505), we found that more than 76% of the respondents reported being exposed to negative stereotypes about the Roma, 27% to threats posed by Roma, and 16% to overt dehumanization of Roma; additionally more than 20% reported hearing no positive sentiments about the Roma in everyday family conversations. We then examined which negative and positive sentiments most strongly predicted respondents’ anti‐Roma prejudice (using measures of social distance and modern racism). Higher social distance scores were predicted by a lack of positive sentiments, whereas lower social distance scores were most strongly predicted by unambiguously positive sentiments expressed during family conversations. Higher modern racism scores were further predicted by sentiments expressing dehumanization, threat, and violence against Roma. Together, these results attest to the extremity of anti‐Roma sentiments expressed regularly by Hungarians, and suggest how exposure to specific sentiments may foster anti‐Roma hostility. Moreover, these findings provide guidance regarding the specific negative anti‐Roma sentiments that should be combated to enhance the effectiveness of anti‐prejudice interventions.

This paper explores the ways in which national governments address the social inclusion of disadvantaged and disenfranchised groups in official strategy documents of the state. Data for this study comes from a corpus of four key government strategy papers concerning Roma inclusion published by the Romanian Government between 2001 and 2015. This paper specifically looks at the ways in which strategy documents frame the problem of "crime" in the context of Roma inclusion. Texts were analysed using a critical frame analysis approach complemented by insights from discursive research. The findings highlight that although generally government policy on the Roma adopts and promotes a progressive/liberal agenda that aligns with EU strategic goals, pronounced ambivalence toward Roma people and subtle forms of racism are still present and persist.
