Romowie – wszędzie obcy. Przykład Francji i innych krajów Europejskich
Roma – others everywhere. An example of France and other European countries

Summary/Abstract: Why Europe treats Roma as “others” and why Europe is “foreign” to Roma? The starting point is the relationship of domination of one collective entity – European countries which are affiliated to the EU on the other countries (groups having the status of minorities, the most marginalized and discriminated). This dependence describes the category of foreign, developed by Marc Augé as a concept “close-another”. Following this concept, the authors of the article distinguish four criteria of analysis: endoetnonim, language, habits (routine practices) and a place for life, which show the mechanism of differentiation and domination, present in most collective entities. The proposed approach has been applied to some European countries, in particular to France, which policy of domination / discrimination against Roma provides many wondering examples, which are still worth a fundamental rethinking of the theoretical plane.
