EKONOMSKI POLOŽAJ
LOKALNE ROMSKE POPULACIJE NIŠA
(uzroci ovog položaja i preporuke za moguću izmenu)
Rezime
Tekst je rezultat terenskog rada koji sam sproveo u Nišu (Srbija), u septembru
2001, provevši tri nedelje zahvaljujući UNOPS-u (United Nations Office
Program Services), odnosno ''City City'' programu. Pomogao mi je srpsko-italijanski
prevodilac italijanske nevladine organizacije ICS (Italijanski konzorcijum
za solidarnost), koji je bio odgovoran za program u Nišu i koji je takođe
nadgledavao moj rad i istraživanje na terenu. Sproveo sam stotinu intervjua
sa Romima koji govore srpski, i koji u većini žive u mali Crvena Zvezda
i u Beogradmali, niškim romskim i neromskim intelektualcima, predstavnicima
romskih i neromskih mesnih nevladinih organizacija i srpskim psiholozima,
koji rade u državnim školama. Sakupio sam dokumentaciju i koristio različite
sekundarne izvore i raspoloživu literaturu za potvrđivanje dobijenih informacija.
Ključne reči: Romi, niška romska populacija, ekonomski položaj.
THE ECONOMIC
SITUATION OF THE LOCAL ROMANI POPULATION OF NIS
(The Causes of
this Situation and Suggestions for Possible change)
Summary
This paper is a result of field work that I conducted in Nis (Serbia) in
September 2001 for the period of three weeks during an internship with
UNOPS (United Nations Office Program Services) under the 'City City' program.
I was provided with a Serb-Italian translator by the Italian Non-Governmental
Orgainsation ICS (Italian Consortium Solidarity) who were responsible for
the program in Nis and who also supervised my work and research on the
field. I was able to hold around one hundred interviews with Serb-speaking
Romanies, mostly living in Crvena Zvezda Mahala and Boegrad Mala Mahala
(Nis) (the former being the worst reduced Mahala in Nis and the latter
being the biggest and most populous), with Nis resident Romany and non-Romany
intellectuals, with representatives of Romany and non-Romany local NGOs
and with Serb psychologists working at formal state schools. I collected
documentation and used various secondary sources and available literature
for background reading and corroboration of information obtained.
Key words: Romani, Romani population of Nis, economic situation
