Konstantní prolínání cikánství a chudoby se projevuje jak ve způsobech, jimiž se Romové vypořádávají se sociální marginalizací, tak v dominantních představách o nich. V důsledku toho si Romové osvojují různé strategie přežití, jejichž prostřednictvím unikají takové identifikaci. Podoby cikánství jsou přitom zkoumány na třech úrovních. V první části je pozornost věnována vnitřnímu členění Romů v Tercově na dvě frakce. Toto dělení je zkoumáno na mikroúrovni, která odhaluje, že jedné z frakcí se úspěšně daří uvrhnout obraz cikánství na druhou frakci tak, aby se sama vymanila z tohoto hegemonního uchopení. Ve druhé části je cikánství zkoumáno v oblasti zaměstnanosti. Vzájemné doplňování cikánství a chudoby se zde projevuje v diskurzu záslužnosti, který efektivně přetavuje sociální kategorie na kulturní schémata, a tím zakládá vyloučení Romů z "morálního souruče...

Na několika místech odkazuje autor na pasáže, které nejspíš měly být součástí práce, ale v předložené verzi práce je nenacházíme (pozn. 4 na s. 22, odkaz na nečíslovanou kapitolu na s. 149). Místy jsou na scénu uváděny osoby, které nebyly nikterak představeny (rodina Giňových, s. 19; Radek, s 21; rodina Belakovách, s. 113) nebo se odkazuje na situace, o nichž nebylo předem referováno (angažovanost autora při získávání grantu z OSF, s. 20.)

He graduated from the secondary technical school, and while still a student he started working in opencast mines as a miner. He eventually spent more than thirty years there, working in the shaft and as a highly skilled operator of the mine's big machines. He had to leave his job at the age of forty-fi ve due to advanced Bechterew's Disease. As a pensioner, he took up full-time activism. Especially in 2011 and 2012, during the anti-Roma racist marches in North Bohemia, he was one of the most visible mobilizers of local Roma resistance. He also strongly advocated the removal of the industrial pig farm from the site of the former concentration camp for Roma in Lety u Písku. I have met with Jožka on several occasions during the pandemic. What follows are excerpts from a series of conversations we had, formally and informally, in person and virtually, between March 2020 and September 2021. Initially, I had intended our conversations to serve as a window into the experiences and viewpoints of a veteran Roma rights activist into the pandemic crisis. Given his strong and long-standing involvement, particularly at the less visible local level, his experiences of how Roma have dealt with the eff ects of the pandemic are specifi c. He does not encounter their diffi culties as an observer, but as someone to whom those aff ected turn for help.
