Annotation
Based on historical and ethnographic research, the dissertation will trace the processes of transformation of the different identities of the Roma (or other communities under this umbrella term) living in mixed or border regions from the point of view of the existence of these identities in two dimensions – at the ethnic and at the national level. Research can be focused on the specific parameters and different aspects of these processes, e.g. ethnic mimicry, publicly declared identity, preferred ethnic identity, national civic identity, and European Roma identity.
