In a series of articles since, he proved that analyzing Roma interactions with material objects can reveal much about contemporary Roma communities and individual lives. He has asked scholars to move beyond an exoticizing and marginalizing focus on folklore, traditional crafts, and art to questions of consumption and object circulation. Materializing Difference: Consumer Culture, Politics and Ethnicity is the first ethnographic, book-length effort to systematically explore Romani prestige economies and their related symbolic repertoires with the aim of furthering the understanding of how intra-group hierarchization relates to consumption practices within Romani communities.
