I am grateful for this new review of my book, The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism: (Un)uttered Sentences. I am thrilled when scholars approach the book as an invitation to rethink Europe, racisms, knowledge, liberal policies, and justice. You can read the review here:https://shorturl.at/9RwS1
Grateful for Bram Wispelwey’s review of my book, "The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism," in the Health and Human Rights Journal. I appreciate the engagement with the book’s arguments on collective life, anti-Roma racism, and the political and conceptual limits of the nation-state.
