Book Launch and Fireside Chat, The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism. (Un)uttered Sentences By Dr. Margareta Matache

Join us for a hybrid (in-person and Zoom) fireside chat to celebrate the launch of Dr. Margareta Matache’s new monograph, The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism: (Un)uttered Sentences. The event will explore the histories, structures, and daily practices that uphold anti-Roma racism across Europe and beyond. It will also examine the place and role of Romani Studies within broader global theories on racialization, racism, and systems of slavery. In conversation with Dr. Mary Bassett, Dr. Abadir Ibrahim, and Dr. Bram Wispelwey, Matache will reflect on howunuttered Roma sentences – erased histories, unhealed violence, and ignored internal knowledge – shape public health, policy, scholarship, and Roma lives.
