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.

This book discusses how Europe's Roma minorities have often been
perceived as a threat to majority cultures and societies.
Frequently, the Roma have become the target of nationalism,
extremism, and racism. At the same time, they have been approached
in terms of human rights and become the focus of programs dedicated
to inclusion, anti-discrimination, and combatting poverty. This
book reflects on this situation from the viewpoint of how the Roma
are often 'securitized,' understood and perceived as 'security
problems.' The authors discuss practices of securitization and the
ways in which they have been challenged, and they offer an original
contribution to debates about security and human rights
interventions at a time in which multiple crises both in and of
Europe are going hand-in-hand with intensified xenophobia and
security rhetoric.
