Legitimacy, Statistics and Research Methodology - Who Is Romani in Hungary Today and What Are We (Not) Allowed to Know About Roma

Summary/Abstract: The question of who can be considered Romani in Hungary goes well beyond issues of ethnic identity or, in a wider sense, the cultural anthropological aspects of ethnicity. As will be shown below, the terms “Roma” and “Gypsy” themselves indicate a divergent web of problems burdened by various interests. This article discusses the topic from a number of fundamental aspects: legal, statistical, methodological, theoretical, minority policy and practice among research organisations – all independent from the issue of how the group in question, the Roma, identify themselves.
