Barvalipe Digital Library of Critical Romani Scholarship

A critical turn in Romani Studies, requires a process of decolonization and an evaluative reframing of our current bibliographies. The Barvalipe Digital Library of Critical Romani Scholarship addresses, in part, a need for a rigorous, scholarly resource that collects reliable academic literature and research about the Roma and other related communities, developed from the critical perspectives of Romani scholars. 

This selected collection is organised into several, contiguous, broad thematic sections that reflect particular avenues of current research, primarily (though not exclusively), led by Roma and other Romani scholars, namely: Romani Histories and Herstories, Romani Identity Politics, Romani Movements and Political Activism; Romani Feminist Thought and Activism; the Romani LGBTI Movement, Knowledge Production, Antigypsyism – Anti Romani racism and racialization; Romani Cultures and Narratives; Art History; Language and Linguistics; Romani Children. 

This curated selection draws together some of the seminal pieces from peer–reviewed, academic publications by Romani researchers and scholars, adopting an orientation and positionality that reflects their identity as Roma, which begins to establish a foundational bedrock of a library of Critical Romani Studies. By collecting op-eds, articles, research findings, book chapters, reports and more, in one digital space, the Library makes Roma and Romani knowledge-production more widely accessible, to Romani and non-Romani audiences
alike.   

The Library is meant to be a ‘living archive’ and not a fixed canon, nor is it a ‘museum artefact’ capturing a ‘snapshot’ of Romani knowledge production at one particular instance in the early 21st century. In this initial phase, the Curators of the Library have sought to gather together a collection of texts, from a variety of perspectives and intellectual or theoretical approaches that will serve as an initial point of reference, for an ever-expanding digital resource, much as a ‘patrin’ or ‘patteran’ was used  by Romani people in the past indicating directions for late arrivals as to where the other waggons had moved on. To that end, the Curators welcome suggestions for academic additions to the Digital Library. 

It is envisaged by the Curators that, over time, the collection will expand to provide a significant educational reference resource. This will, it is to be hoped, actively promote further rigorous and scholarly production from Romani academics and researchers, sometimes working in collaboration with their non–Roma partners and colleagues. The breadth of the collection, in content and subject matter, is likewise intended to extend into additional areas, such as Biography, Literature, Poetry and Drama, Graphic Novels and Animation, Religiosity, and other topics and fields of study. As such, the Digital Library has a potential to reach the widest possible communities, and represent them/us, through the lens of Romani knowledge production, in ways that are both new and intrinsic, inseparable from our own ‘voices’, rather than as the echoes distantly ‘captured’ by others.

The Barvalipe Digital Library of the Critical Romani Scholarship has been curated by: Dr. Maria Bogdan, Dr. Ioanida Costache, Dr. Dezso Mate, Dr. Adrian R. Marsh, Dr. Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka.

 

I. ROMANI HISTORIES AND HER-STORIES

In undertaking the topic of Romani history/herstory, we engage in a process of inquiry and building knowledge about the past. Knowledge, with etymological roots in the Ancient Greek word gnosis, carries with it a connotation of awareness. Historical inquiry as a way of making the past less distant is by default a process of building awareness. Recognizing Romani history—past events, ground-breaking actions, and experiences—allows us to cultivate Romani memory and a collective Romani consciousness informed by our heritage. Understanding our past empowers us to promote an elevated appreciation of today. This section presents a collection of Romani Histories and Herstories: of political systems, economic processes, international relations, and various forms of representations in relation to Romani life

II. ROMANI IDENTITY AND POLITICS

Identity politics is a framework broadly utilized in the humanities and social sciences to define the forms and construction of various identities. The term also serves as a tool to promote civic, individual, and cultural ideologies. Identity politics refers to identification with, or sense of belonging to, a particular group based on nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, race, social background, class, or other identifying factors. The authors in the section grapple with identity as a reflection of an individual or group understanding of themselves collectively as well as the subjectification by others.

III. ROMANI MOVEMENTS – POLITICAL ACTIVISM  

Romani leaders, activists, and intellectuals together work to promote visibility, equality, and dignity for Romani peoples. The first generation of activists (ca. 1940s-1970s) laid the foundation for a strong cultural and political Roma movement based on self-representation by championing autonomy, freedom, Romani arts and culture, identity emancipation, and leadership. From 1971 on the Romani political movement and organizational representation strengthened the public Romani civil rights activism and human rights defenders’ visibility across the world.

IV. ROMANI FEMINIST THOUGHT

Romani Feminist scholarship is a progressive wave of thought within Romani studies, feminist movements, knowledge production, and human rights discourse. Addressing Romani Feminist emancipation, this body of literature holds both activist and academic commitments. These scholars make important contributions not only to the social sciences, but also make valuable interventions for policymakers, and social and community services as well. Given the body of knowledge Romani feminist thought has generated from the lived experiences of Romani subjects, the need to critically discuss, and challenge the intersectional antigypsyism, anti-Romani racism across Europe emerges.

V. ROMANI LGBTQI MOVEMENT

In the last decade academic discourses, European social movements, and public discourse features more recognition of Romani LGBTQI. This recognition is a testament to the work of those openly out Romani LGBTQI activists, scholars, and their alliances, who were pioneers in raising their voices to challenge their systemic erasure. Romani LGBTQI,  racialized peoples, feminists, sex-workers, stigmatized communities with AIDS and HIV, and people with disabilities share a collective aim of challenging the status quo—standing together to demand (not ask) for their, our, fundamental human rights.

VI. KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION

Mainstream knowledge production is often generated from an external, privileged, majoritarian viewpoint that presents a racist, classicist, exoticizing, and objectified conceptualization of Romani people. These hegemonic, frequently dehumanizing, stigmatizations exclude our own narratives, representations, and lived experiences, and limit our access to knowledge production. Romani peoples, narratives, activities, and knowledge is forgotten, in light of this legacy of exclusion. Romani scholars, more recently, have re-claimed the reins in generating awareness, visibility, Romani counter-narrative through knowledge-production and scholarship from a Romani epistemological standpoint.

VII. ANTIGYPSYISM & ANTI-ROMANI RACISM AND RACIALIZATION

Antigypsyism or anti-Roma racism is a transhistorical phenomenon that comprises special forms of racism that directly affect Romani people regardless of time and place. Antigypsyism refers to and theorizes the daily intolerance and racist attitude towards those who are known in the public, for example, as Gypsy, Roma Travellers, Ashkali Bayash, Cigány Dom, Gitano, Gitan, Kaale, Sinti, etc. Romani peoples have long been “Othered” in European society. The authors in this section trace the genealogy of antigypsyism as well as its manifestations both historically and in contemporary society.

VIII. ROMANI ART HISTORY AND CULTURAL NARRATIVES

Romani people are often portrayed as exotic, outlandish Others in the European imagination. Thus, Roma have faced prejudice, exclusions, and persecution for centuries. Romani culture is rich, bright, and influential, however in mainstream art history and cultural narratives Romani artists lack recognition. Romani art and cultural narratives are integral to mainstream culture, yet cultural appropriation and biased representation have long overlooked the important role of Romani culture to global societies

IX. LANGUAGE

There is a great and ongoing debate on the origins of the many dialects that comprise the Romani language, which has also lead to debates on Romani identity, raising the following questions: When, how, and where were Roma subject to forced language assimilation and what effect did this have on speakers of Romani? What role does language play in processes of identity construction? Is it possible to construct a worldwide Romani language standardization for the next generations? This section seeks to answer these questions.

X. ROMANI CHILDREN AND EDUCATION

This section presents research on experiences of Romani children in educational systems. A critical issue vis-à-vis Romani education is the fact that the segregation of Romani children in schools continues to be practiced in various forms across Europe and the Balkans, despite numerous projects, policies, and strategies seeking to end it. These authors discuss this and other issues, challenges, and paths forward in creating equitable education opportunities from Roma.
