- Summary:
- The book offers a study of Roma racialisation. Through the idea of unbelonging it demonstrates how the community is placed in a position of visceral visibility by local, national and international institutions and media discourses. It critically evaluates how the unbelonged position impacts Roma's self-representation and political mobilisation.
