Titre : Roma Resistance Day in Paris

Légende : Ethel BROOKS pictured during the Roma Resistance day in Saint-Denis, near Paris (France), on May 17, 2015.
Ethel BROOKS, 47, sociologist and associate professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Her research focuses political economy, globalization, social movements, feminist theory, nationalism, urban geographies, post-colonialism. As a Romani American, she has work in particular on the Roma victims of the Holocaust, and the discursive formations of « gypsiness ». She's also a fervent activist and member of the Alliance for the European Roma Institute, a new independent organization with the mission of increasing the self-esteem of Roma and decreasing negative prejudice of the majority towards the Roma by means of arts, culture, history, and media.
« I want to show that Romani culture is not what people see in the news, or in awful TV shows like "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding". It has a history and a strong living culture with contempory artists, musicians, writers, intellectuals, etc. ». PHOTO Vincent Boisot
