Abstract

Abstract:This article focuses on the interplay of (de)marginalization and identity building among evangelical Roma in Estonia and Latvia. The evangelization of the Roma, who are traditionally Orthodox, Lutheran, or Catholic, is conducted by Finnish Roma as part of their Eastern European outreach. I discuss the complexity of conversion and attempts to de-marginalize the Roma in Estonia and the Vidzeme region of Latvia. The narrative of de-marginalization turns out not to be the main reason to convert, and even converted Roma face the challenge of managing the tensions arising from having to follow several moral codes. Nevertheless, the way the converted Roma build their new more layered identity is still dependent on the narrative of de-marginalization.

不断的越境:爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚罗姆人的皈依和福音派魅力基督教身份

摘要：本文重点探讨了爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚福音派罗姆人的边缘化和身份认同建设之间的相互作用。传统上信奉东正教、路德会或天主教的罗姆人的传福音活动由芬兰罗姆人进行，作为其东欧外联活动的一部分。我讨论了爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚维德泽姆地区罗姆人皈依的复杂性和去边缘化的尝试。事实证明，去边缘化的叙事并不是皈依的主要原因，即使是皈依的罗姆人也面临着管理因必须遵守几种道德准则而产生的紧张局势的挑战。尽管如此，皈依的罗姆人建立新的、更有层次的身份的方式仍然取决于去边缘化的叙事。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1888, the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In 2000, the journal became Romani Studies. On behalf of the Gypsy Lore Society, Romani Studies features articles on many different communities which, regardless of their origins and self-appellations in various languages, have been referred to in English as Gypsies. These communities include the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent which have been considered as falling into three large subdivisions, Dom, Lom, and Rom. The field has also included communities of other origins which practice, or in the past have practiced, a specific type of service nomadism. The journal publishes articles in history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, linguistics, art, literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual materials.
