Abstract

History has shown a 20!" century marked by political, geopolitical, social, and economic metamorphosis, especially for the European continent. Romanian's physical borders were reshaped during the #rst half of this century and caught between a political, social, and ethnic whirlwind. For Roma people, the 1920s and1930s came with substantial turmoil as their efforts to establish various forms of representation and organization were not supported by the Romanian authorities,nor by public opinion. %e public discourse was dominated by prejudice, stereotypes,and amplified marginalization. %e far-right’s extreme tendencies, compounded by public discourse, spread Roma stereotypes such as “the thief ”, “the other”, “the diseases carrier”, “the pariah”, “the unwanted” etc., and generated the idea of “us against them” which heavily impacted the deportation process
