The Rights of the Roma writes Romani struggles for citizenship into
the history of human rights in socialist and post-socialist Eastern
Europe. If Roma have typically appeared in human rights narratives
as victims, Celia Donert here draws on extensive original research
in Czech and Slovak archives, sociological and ethnographic
studies, and oral histories to foreground Romani activists as
subjects and actors. Through a vivid social and political history
of Roma in Czechoslovakia, she provides a new interpretation of the
history of human rights by highlighting the role of Socialist
regimes in constructing social citizenship in postwar Eastern
Europe. The post-socialist human rights movement did not spring
from the dissident movements of the 1970s, but rather emerged in
response to the collapse of socialist citizenship after 1989. A
timely study as Europe faces a major refugee crisis which raises
questions about the historical roots of nationalist and xenophobic
attitudes towards non-citizens.
