Abstrakt
The communist dictatorship of the early 1950s supported Romanies for principled ideological reasons and offered them the chance to become part of mainstream society. However, it presented this intention through degrading knowledge, which reproduced the power asymmetry between mainstream society and Romanies.
The genealogy of the 1950s vision of Czechoslovak Romanies' socialist emancipation thus reveals structures of racist thinking. Unfortunately, this thinking is still alive and well among the Czech public.
