The Romani Women's Movement highlights the role that Romani women's politics plays in shaping equality related discourses, policies, and movements in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Presenting the diverse experiences and voices of Romani women activists, this volume reveals how they translate experiences of structural inequalities into political struggles by defining their own spaces of action; participating in formalized or less formal activist practices, and challenging the agendas and mechanisms of the established Romani and women's movements. Moving discourses on and of Romani women from the periphery of scholarly exchanges to the mainstream, the volume invites scholars and activists from different disciplines and movements to critically reflect on their engagements with particular social justice agendas. It will appeal to students, researchers and practitioners interested in fields such as social movements, gender quality, and social and ethnic justice"-- Introduction: Romani feminist critique and gender politics / Angéla Kóczé, Violetta Zentai, Jelena Jovanovic, and Eniko Vincze -- Missed opportunity or building blocks of a movement?: history and lessons from the Roma women's initiative's efforts to mobilize European Romani women's activism / Debra Schultz and Nicoleta Bîțu -- Negotiating the identity dilemma: crosscurrents across the Romani, Romani women's and Romani LGBTIQ movements / Lucy Fremlová and Aidan McGarry -- Gender relations and the Romani women's movement in the eyes of Romani men: towards the potential for transversal politics / Jelena Jovanovic and Violetta Zentai -- Heroines of ours: between magnificence and maleficence / Jelena M.
