Title Doing help, making ethnicity: Ethnicization of social work in Slovakia
Summary As an entry point for discussion about the neoliberalism of the welfare state and the race relations the case of the so-called marginalized Roma communities in Slovakia was chosen. Slovakia currently undergoes the economic boom together with the massive support from the European Structural and Investment Funds allocated for the marginalized Roma. In spite of this, number of the slums with people living in sharp inequalities is not decreasing. The aim of the study is to examine, who decides, who benefits and in whose interests, decisions regarding the social work for the Romani people. The method of the critical discursive analysis will be used to analyse mechanisms of the meaning-making of the Roma in social work policy documents. The discourse will be analysed from the positions of the critical Romani studies. This paper suggests relations among meaning-making of Roma in social work, especially in quality management, and the reproduction of the race inequalities.
