"The text as a whole, in summary, is extremely stimulating and interesting. The use of scholarly literatures outside the somewhat narrow field of Romani Studies makes the book suitable also for those interested in many other subaltern groups, and in the more general themes of action research." * Social Movement Studies



"This edited volume brings together authors, whose different perspectives on engaging with Romani Studies through activism, academic study and policy development, bring new insights and provocations. The book has been published at a very important juncture in the evolution of Romani Studies and the reflections of the authors are very timely and important...good work is being done to renew Romani Studies and ensure that the discipline thrives in a more critical and engaged environment." * Ethnic and Racial Studies



"Overall, Roma Activism does what the best academic work should do: it engages the reader from start to finish while challenging the binaries too often accepted as the status quo. The cohesion among the authors of this volume builds a strong case for the future of Romani Studies and Romani activism." * Critical Romani Studies



"The book offers meaningful insights and opens newmethodological and epistemological pathways, especially with regard to the key issue of the agency of Roma communities, to be understood not as passive subjects at the mercy of external institutions and non-governmental organizations, but as independent actors able to act on the political scene." * Anuac. Journal of the Italian Society of Cultural Anthropology



"This volume offers a wide array of perspectives for those wishing to better understand critical debates within Romani studies and Roma/pro-Roma activism. It will in particular be a welcome contribution for those already invested in these spheres and wishing for in-depth analyses of shifts and trends in knowledge production and mobilisation." * Social Anthropology/anthropologie sociale
