European Social Integration and the Roma

Theoretically nuanced and empirically rich, this new study by sociologist Dr. Cerasela Voiculescu offers a unique and fresh insight on how power, in neoliberal times, is impacting on different Roma communities in Romania. Based on field observations, community work and academic reflection over nearly fifteen years, the project deftly deconstructs the Roma as both political projection and as non-static actors with strength, agency and their own power in challenging and disrupting gadzhe (non-Roma) institutions and the state. This is a remarkable book that strikes new ground in both Romani studies and critical accounts of neoliberalism and power.

Colin Clark, Professor of Sociology and Social Policy, University of the West of Scotland, UK

In the field of political sociology and European studies, there has long been a discussion on transnational neoliberal development and ethnic groups self-governance. Notwithstanding, there has been limited exploration in relation to modes of knowledge production associated with neoliberal governance of the Other (e.g. ethnic and indigenous groups), which capture its idiosyncratic modes of political expression and empowerment.

Drawing on Michel Foucaults political philosophy, this book discusses European social integration as transnational neoliberal governmentality and challenges its epistemologically constituted subaltern subject. Neoliberalism is questioned in relation to its programs of securitisation of poverty and authoritarian models of self-governance associated with instrumentality of the market. In this context, the books rich political historical ethnography develops a new framework for the study of social power. Furthermore, inspired by Jacques Rancieres radical philosophy, European Social Integration and the Roma proposes a new mode of knowledge production about populations excessively subjected to neoliberal governmentality, heralding the epistemological decolonisation of the neoliberal subject.

Presenting an insightful new prospect in critical sociology as well as the conceptualisation of power and the application of theories of governmentality, this book will appeal to scholars interested in the areas of political sociology and anthropology, international relations, social and political theory/philosophy and post-development studies.

Cerasela Voiculescu is an experienced researcher interested in critical social and political philosophy/theory with specific reference to social and political power, neoliberalism, knowledge, governmentality and European studies.

Politics is not the exercise of power. It is the political relationship that makes it possible to conceive the subject of politics ().

Jacques Ranciere

What is questioned is the way in which knowledge circulates and functions, its relations to power.

Michel Foucault

The relation between answer and question is essentially a power relation, hence political: relation of despotic master and slave up in arms.

It is never the answer, but the question that sets the building on fire.

Let this door be a flame.

Edmond Jabes

To Roma
and all those populations struggling for political recognition and liberty.
