| Title | "Human to human" - The Politics of Recognition in the Rural Local Contexts of Hungarian Roma Exclusion/Inclusion |
| Summary | Roma in Hungary have been overrepresented among the socioeconomically disadvantaged as a result of centuries-old discriminatory social structures. This fact has caused serious misunderstandings and obscurity in the policies aimed at “integration,” “assimilation,” “catching up,” or “inclusion.” This thesis departs from Szalai’s normative argument that conceptual clarification and the disentanglement of the Roma “questio n’s 1d; socioeconomic and minority circumstances depends on “recognition.” Through a case study of a Northeast Hungarian village, it investigates rural local Roma politics and the potential of recognizing Roma as equal human beings for clearing this conceptual fog. The study finds that although recognition does appear in some actions and manifestations, the systematic exploitation of local Roma governments and socioeconomically vulnerable Roma voters hinders recognition and the development of a language that could turn into political action against anti-Roma social structures. |
