Roma Activism (eBook, ePUB)

Reimagining Power and Knowledge
Redaktion: Beck, Sam; Ivasiuc, Ana

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring contemporary debates and developments in Roma-related research and forms of activism, this volume argues for taking up reflexivity as practice in these fields, and advocates a necessary renewal of research sites, methods, and epistemologies. The contributors gathered here - whose professional trajectories often lie at the confluence between activism, academia, and policy or development interventions - are exceptionally well placed to reflect on mainstream practices in all these fields, and, from their particular positions, envision a reimagining of these practices.
