French Chronicle …

Published by:

Unfortunately, more news on Roma this week in France. But it starts well. The French state is condemned for an illegal expulsion near Paris. Also near Paris, a squat will be demolished; in Melun, Roma will have to leave the old hospital in which they have been living for a long time; a club suspends its activities due to the presence of a new Roma camp; and a more positive prize for architecture of social housing for Roma. In Strasbourg, a Rom died electrocuted in a migrant centre. In Angers, in Western France, a squat isn’t sure of its fate.
Finally, on France Culture, a reportage on the Roma in the French Resistance.

An Analysis of Miracles

Published by:

René Lužica, a researcher at the Institute of Roma Studies in Nitra, studied “miracles” and apparitions in Roma settlements. He says that the revelation of the Saviour’s silhouette in Batizovce and Petrov which are a miracle for local Roma believers are a manifestation of popular faith.
One wonders what this has to do with Roma studies …
