Rom and pro-Rom advocacy in the Czech Republic: Changing interpretations since 1989

Abstract

This article examines the development of framing processes of the so-called Roma and Pro-Roma movement in the Czech Republic after 1989. Although there have been studies describing several and predominantly general frames in relation to the Roma movement in post-Communist countries, there has still yet to be a systematic analysis.
