Roma minority youth across cultural contexts taking a positive approach to research, policy, and practice

ABSTRACT This review regards the book Roma Minority Youth Across Cultural Contexts Taking a Positive Approach to Research, Policy, and Practice edited by Profs. Radosveta Dimitrova, David L. Sam and Laura Ferrer-Wreder published at Oxford University Press. The book advances relevant research, theory, policy and practice within the Positive Youth Development (PYD) applied to Roma groups in a global perspective. This volume is particularly suited for the readership of Social Identities as a leading international journal for analysis on the role of ethnic and minority relations, ethnicity, immigration. Roma are among one of the most stigmatized and marginalized ethnic minority groups over the world. Roma are the largest at-risk ethnic minority in Europe traditionally suffering from social intolerance, exclusion, and poverty in addition to structured marginalization, segregation and access to resources. The volume provides a valuable source of interdisciplinary expertise with novel research findings and insights for readers interested in immigration, race, ethnicity, intercultural relations, sociology, social policy, anthropology, political science, international relations, geography, history, social psychology and cultural studies
