Join Us!
Roma in the Czech Republic became in recent decades subjects of various governmental programs as well as public protests, discrimination and racial violence. The “Roma problem” was presented as the result of a “culture of poverty”, Roma were characterized as “undeserving poor” and finally being treated as a security issue. The securitized approach to Roma was reflected also in adoption or promotion of the policies of “zero tolerance” of Roma criminality in several Czech municipalities. The talk will discuss how Roma-related discourses affect policy formation at national and local levels and also how certain policies transform the way Roma are perceived and understood.
