The Roma A Balkan Underclass Cvorovic

The Roma A Balkan Underclass Cvorovic

The Roma of Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans can be described as the ultimate outsiders, persecuted, enslaved and discriminated against throughout the centuries. Their rigid codes of conduct, societal traditions and religious and moral taboos have caused their integration with non-Roma populations to be minimal. As a result, the Roma have not benefitted from advances in healthcare and education and are consistently the lowest scorers in measures of life expectancy, child mortality, income and intelligence.

In The Roma: A Balkan Underclass, Jelena Cvorovic gives an overview of the history of the Roma, from their migration from northern India to their settlement in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. She then draws on her own extensive fieldwork amongst the Roma in Serbia, and from the work of others, to give an analysis of the current parlous state of the Roma. Included are detailed reports from the various countries of the region, a demographic comparison of Muslim and Christian Roma in Serbia, cognitive ability studies to determine dysgenic fertility, and reviews of the work of other researchers in Roma education, intelligence and health.
