Author(s): / Language(s): English

The edited volume addresses the complex and underexplored intersection of ethnic, religious, and activist identities. It focuses on the experiences of Roma communities with Muslim identities, situating their struggles within broader frameworks of discrimination, resilience, and ideas about societal transformation. By examining the nexus of antigypsyism and anti-Muslim hate, as well as the activism emerging from these intersecting oppressions, the volume fills a critical gap in the existing academic literature. It sheds light on a range of issues, including the effects of multiple discrimination on specific groups, such as Roma women, as well as diverse strategies of resistance and advocacy employed to combat marginalization.
