Zusatztext Susan Gal! Mae & Sidney G. Metzl Distinguished Service Professor of Anthropology! of Linguistics! and of Social Sciences! University of ChicagoThis pioneering volume refocuses scholarship and activism in striking ways. The authors are as knowledgeable about feminist and gender theory as about the political dilemmas of activism. Filled with fresh! critical insights for productive alliances! the book is innovative in genre. Some chapters! inspired by postcolonial thought! offer sharp analyses of the Romani women's movement. In others! activists and scholars reflect together on their motivations and differences of position! identity and vision. Facing inward! the book courageously dissects tensions within Romani communities and among differently placed women. Facing outward! it locates Romani gender politics within European national and transnational contexts! in a regime of non-governmental organizations. ?Mieke Verloo!
