  Article:   SPATIALIZATION AND RACIALIZATION OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION. THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FORMATION OF ‘GYPSY GHETTOS’ IN ROMANIA IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The articles of this issue analyse the social and cultural formation of „Gypsy ghettos” in Romania as historically-rooted manifestations of the spatialization and racialization of social exclusion in contemporary Europe. Offering insights into processes of ghettoization, they deconstruct the term „Gypsy ghetto” as a discursive device that homogenizes and racializes the inhabitants of impoverished, ran-down slum areas regardless of their life stories and ethnic self-identifications, and re-construct its multiple meanings from the points of view of those living inside or outside the physical and social barriers that configure these territories, and as well as from the perspective of broader socio-economic, policy and political, and cultural processes, which create them.
