Summary/Abstract: Ioana Szeman’s new book, Staging Citizenship, reviewed by social anthropologist László Fosztó, discusses both the difficult socio-economic conditions and damaged cultural identity of the Roma people in Romania, as well as their performances and performative actions, carried out in different cultural spaces. The fieldwork​ conducted in the Roma community, depicted under a fictional name in this volume, sheds light on a series of stereotypes and representational problems associated with the Roma, as well as on the chasms in citizenship and on the cultural and political contexts of their characteristic art performances in Romania.
