2 Romii si societatea contemporana ROMA people and the contemporary societyAutor: Bardai Vladimir Titlul cărții:Romii si societatea contemporana Ce se spune despre carte: sunt cerșetori, hoți, needucați, murdari, leneși, răi, n-au cultură, nu știu să respecte, nu știu să vorbească etc.. Despre cartea noastră: Daca intrebam majoritatea cetatenilor ce cunosc despre etnia roma, nu am fi deloc surprinsi sa aflam niste pareri evazive si negative despre acest subiect; daca ne uitam in presa, canalul cel mai relevant pentru public, raspunsurile si argumentele legate de subiectul romii amplifica opresiunea, neadevarul si prejudecatile asupra comunitatii rome. Oamenii stiu foarte putin despre noi, nici macar in scoli nu se face cunoscut adevarul, fapt pentru care generatie dupa generatie se afla in necunostinta de cauza, iar mentalitatile bat pasul pe loc ******************************************************************************************************************************************* Author: Bardai Vladimir Book Title: ROMA people and the contemporary society What they say about the book: they are beggars, thieves, uneducated, dirty, lazy, mean people, they have no culture, they do not respect the others, they are illiterate About our book: If we ask the majority of the people about the Roma Community, we would find out some evasive and negative opinions about the subject, opinions influenced by media, the most important communication channel.

The people know very little about us, there is not an education about our true histories and values and like this generation after generation the labelling and discrimination continues , the mentalities are not changed.
