Through accounts of music and dance performances, media representations, activism, and interactions with both non-governmental organizations and state agencies, author Ioana Szeman grounds broad themes of political economy, citizenship, resistance, and neoliberalism in her subjects' remarkably varied lives and experiences. Zusammenfassung Staging Citizenship explores a wide range of Roma performances and representations-from live music and cultural performances to Gypsy soaps and reality TV shows! demonstrating how disenfranchised urban Roma claim cultural citizenship and belonging in music! dance! activism and everyday encounters.
