Repost – Roma in Europe: Part, but Apart
by RT
This podcast about Roma in Europe was originally published in May 2009, but with the recent happenings in France concerning the group, Dr Michael Stewart deserves another listen.
Five years into the ‘Decade of Roma Inclusion’ West European countries are still struggling to integrate the Roma, and as Dr Michael Stewart warns, Europe must gain a deeper understanding of the people. Dr Stewart is one of the most passionate people in their area of study that I’ve ever encountered. You can listen to the podcast here.
Very good podcast. I don’t even know where Europe’s going to end up. Geert Wilders here in NL, Sarko beating up on the Roma in France, “nationalistic” and anti-immigrant parties (with clout) in so many other countries… So many negative developments going on. Guess we all have to get our activist shoes on.
You know, the nationalists have been around for a while. It’s just that we’ve been ignoring them.
