Abstract

[In the early years after the collapse of communism, the Roma of Eastern Europe and Russia quickly saw their hoped for dreams of acceptance and integration into society quickly dashed by the very prejudices that had haunted them for centuries. In fact, the new-found hatreds they faced had a particular virulence to it that harked back to the Nazi era. Much has changed in the region since the mid-1990s. The collapse of Yugoslavia into its constituent ethnic republics is now complete and the pace of European integration in Central and Eastern Europe is moving forward quickly. As is seen in this chapter, the Roma question has now moved center stage and has become something of a measure of the state of democracy in each of the region’s new, postcommunist states.]
