Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Two Decades of Research on Roma in Türkiye: Socioeconomic Exclusion, Identity, and State Policies(Liverpool Univ Press, 2024) Celik, Faika; Uştuk, Ozan; Ustuk, OzanThe scholarly investigation of Roma communities in Turkiye has intensified since the 2000s, largely driven by Turkiye's EU accession candidacy and subsequent adaptation process. This alignment, along with internal developments, prompted governments to prioritize Roma issues, implement projects, and issue action plans. The Roma Civil Society Movement in the 1990s further highlighted Roma challenges, resulting in a diverse body of literature. This study critically examines academic literature to map prevailing trends and thematic foci. Key areas of scholarly engagement include the various dimensions of socio-economic exclusion faced by Roma in education, employment, housing, and health. Additionally, scholars analyze how Roma negotiate and resist pejorative representations, construct their identities, and organize to address contemporary challenges. State policies affecting Roma, from past to present, also receive considerable attention. By critically engaging with this scholarship, the present study highlights significant progress and ongoing challenges in Romani Studies in Turkiye, offering insights into future research directions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4The Roma Image in the Mainstream Turkish Audiovisual Media: Sixty Years of Stereotyping(Liverpool University Press, 2019) Cox, Ayça Tunç; Uştuk, OzanThis article seeks to address one of the most problematic lacunae in Turkey's political and academic landscape by examining the mediated images of the Roma people in Turkey. This long-neglected sub-cultural group in the Turkish context is mostly regarded as the “others” of society, who cannot speak for themselves. Their public imagination is, therefore, based heavily on narratives that are exclusively produced by non-Roma people. In order to reveal the historical construction of the popular Roma image in Turkey, we cover audiovisual material from the 1960s onward. Through a descriptive-interpretive analysis, we seek to explore how cultural and artistic narratives have contributed to and/or mirrored, and thus reproduced, the prevailing knowledge and imagination about the Roma people in Turkish society. © 2019 Liverpool University Press.
