Roma scholar Ethel Brooks, professor at the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and Department of Sociology at Rutgers University in New Jersey, published last year “Europe is ours”. It sets out clearly against the cultural apartheid and accepted exploitation society the Roma face across Europe, referring to the movement of Roma-futurism, which it regards as a way to freedom. In February, the Roma-futurismo Library (Dittrichova 13/349, Prague 2) opened in Prague, making accessible the works of Roma authors and titles related to the issues of emancipation of discriminated ethnicities and cultures. The library also serves as a meeting place for cultural and political topics.
