“…20 Her argument is not unlike Anderson's theory about the formation of the Hungarian nation, which argued that Magyarization was a product the fear of marginalization held by the Magyar nobility. 21 For Verdery, Romanian intellectuals conceptualized ethnicity as a claim to power and situated it in the complicated assemblage of ethnic histories of an empire that stretched from Italy to Transylvania. Yet, in contrast with Anderson, she sees the formation of ethnicity not as a process of co-optation of a popular movement, but as an imperial plan to control rivalries between Hungarians and Romanians by the Habsburgs.…”

“…5 In his view, nationalism was not an ideological formation, but a rather neutral concept that was closer to religion or the anthropological concept of kinship. 6 Concepts such as native and indigenous are completely different from racism since they are rooted in being rooted in a territory. 7 Second, he argued that official nationalism was a strategy for empires to become attractive and consolidate themselves.…”

This article argues that the category of indigenous Romanian, which was articulated at the end of the 18th century can be better understood as a product of imperial racialization. Building on Katherine Verdery’s work, I analyze the production of the Romanian indigeneity within the context of imperial rivalries in the Habsburg empire. In doing so, I critically investigate the impact of Benedict Anderson’s theory of nationalism in Romanian studies, given that it introduced a sharp distinction between ethnicity and race. My argument opens up two new conceptual routes. On the one hand, it suggests a line of investigation comparing the formation of Romanian ethnicity with debates about white racial identity in North America. On the other hand, it makes visible the exclusion of Roma ethnicity from narratives about the origin of Romanianness. I conclude by drawing on larger consequences regarding, not only the question of race and stereotypes, but also by looking at the global process of forming the distinction between the indigenous and the foreign migrant.
