The dominant paradigm treats them as a ‘European problematique’, even when it does so from an insightful and critical standpoint that engages with the multi-layered dimensions of othering (Tildiz and de Genova 2017, van Baar and Kóczé 2020). When framing research questions or developing policies, Romanies are commonly referred to as ‘the largest European minority’. Tellingly, however, there is no ‘second largest’ or even another ‘European’ minority. This is revealing of the unique place Romanies occupy in the European imagination.
The research that informs this paper proposes to both decentre the hegemonic Europeanist framing and to link Romani ethno-racial formations to other ethno-racial projects. The proposed paper explores how the non-belonging of Romani minorities in Portugal’s national narrative(s) affects their lack of recognition and representation, investigating varied relationships that Romanies created with other groups and within specific ‘racial formations’ (Omi & Winant 1986) in contemporary Portugal, and approaches Romani difference ‘relationally’ (Molina et al. 2019).Workplace Institute of Ethnology Contact Veronika Novotná, novotna@eu.cas.cz, Tel.: 532 290 277 Year of Publishing 2024
