ReSounding Poverty: Romani Music and Development Aid engages with
global scholarship on development, poverty, and applied research.
It addresses the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
within postsocialist neoliberal processes and analyzes the economic
structures within which Romani musics circulate. Specifically,
ReSounding Poverty offers a micro ethnography of economic networks
that impact the daily lives of Romani musicians on the borders of
the former Soviet Union and the European Union. It argues that the
development aid allotted to provide economic assistance to Romani
communities, when analyzed from the perspective of the performance
arts, continues to marginalize the poorest among them. Through
their structure and programming, NGOs choose which segments of the
population are the most vulnerable and in the greatest need of
assistance. Drawing on ethnographic research in development
contexts, ReSounding Poverty asks who speaks for whom within the
Romani rights movement today. Framing the critique of development
aid in musical terms, it engages with Romani marginalization and
economic deprivation through a closer listening to vocal
inflections, physical vocalizations of health and disease, and
emotional affect. ReSounding Poverty brings us into the back rooms
of saman, mud and straw brick, houses not visited by media
reporters and politicians, amplifying the cultural expressions of
the Romani poor, silenced in the business of development.
