“…To a certain extent, the rise of university graduates can be related to an emerging sense of Roma pride. However, this rather elitist discourse is not shared by the large majority of Roma who live in poverty, and it is challenged by many educated Roma (Pantea 2014b).…”

This article is interested in how young Roma women negotiate access to university in family and community contexts shaped by gendered expectations and conflicting roles. It is based on 37 in-depth interviews with young Roma women in Romania's higher education or recent graduates. The paper argues that Roma women need to negotiate their aspirations for constructing an 'identity of choice' (as argued in the individualisation theory), under a constant pressure to conform to the compelling force of social structures such as gender, ethnicity and age.

“…One is the effect on the Roma minority. A study of young Romani students (Pantea 2014) revealed that the Roma "experienced shame not because of resenting their origin, but because they were very aware at the negative connotations being attributed to the Roma" (Pantea 2014: 611). The importance of the outside gaze and the ensuing (self)re-evaluation is also evident in the case of Romanians, who in the diaspora shift from being a majority to becoming a minority.…”

"Each of China’s 55 different ethnic minorities has its unique diet and customs with special ethnic character and historical tradition in the content and form of “eating” and “drinking.” In the composition of the Chinese diet, the diet and customs of ethnic minorities are an essential part. Chinese food enjoys a worldwide reputation, directly related to the fact that people of all ethnic groups living in the same region can learn from each other in terms of diet and customs and learn from each other’s strengths to compensate for their weaknesses. It provides a good guarantee for improving the physical quality and health of all ethnic groups in China. The ethnic minorities have notable differences in the source and composition of food, processing and use of cooking utensils, cooking and eating customs, and etiquette. The dishes are rich and colorful, and the dietary concepts are in full bloom. The tastes and habits are various, and the customs and styles of hospitality are different. Keywords: Food culture; ethnic minorities; unique diet; diet and custom. "

“… 3. The practice of “passing”—wherein people conceal or deny their heritage is an attempt to combat deeply rooted racism (Derrington, 2007). Pantea (2014: 612) refers to passing as a “necessity of survival in racist situations.” …”

This article examines social media as a site for identity negotiation and community building among Roma in the Czech Republic. As Roma are continually denied authority over the construction of their identities, their Czech-ness, claim to physical spaces, and generally made to feel that they do not belong—both in the material and symbolic sense—this article examines how individual activists and community organizers utilize media as a resource to combat spatial alienation. This ethnographic study pays close attention to the cultivation of community through Facebook groups, the utilization of groups and event pages to organize, and the affordances and challenges of moving online efforts offline. At the same time, this article explores tensions and contradictions of these digital spaces that may involve issues like the lack of resources and the fragmentation of community—and of communal space—by such variables as age, language, and technological access and literacy. Ultimately, this article suggests that social media may embody both emotional and material places manifesting as additional/alternative places to negotiate identities and belonging for Roma in the Czech Republic. The findings of this research carry important implications for those with complicated relationships to home(lands), including geographically displaced people.
