Peter Lynch was the grandfather who killed himself after being jailed for being rude to a police officer in the Southport riots. Why, asks Laura Perrins, was he convicted in 18 days but Bob Vylan hasn't yet been charged?

Gas is ? or should be ? dirt cheap because it's abundant and easy to extract, store and transport. Only politicians infected with the neo-Malthusian green mind virus make energy expensive, says Ben Pile.

Public talk: Gypsy rebellion?

category kildare | racism & migration related issues | event notice author Tuesday March 03, 2015 20:46author by Laurence Cox - MA Community Education, Equality and Social Activism Report this post to the editors

Leadership, NGOs and activism among Spanish gitanos

Public talk by Antonio Montańés

Organised by the MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism, Maynooth

Why does a historically stigmatized and family-oriented ethnic minority that is pushed to the margins of social life decide to engage in politics and civil society? How do they manage to carry out such an a priori countercultural task? What kinds of cultural repertories and narratives bridge this historical gap? What challenges and paradoxes do they face and what trends do we find?

In this talk, the author will explore the impact that sociological context (such as extensive urbanization and the end of the Franco era) and external agents (such as the Catholic Church and other State-oriented institutions) had on the birth of gitano associationism and its struggle for institutional recognition. In addition, the author will focus on the powerful and monopolistic position of NGOs on gitano civil society, the drastic reconfiguration of social leadership following decades of extreme social changes, and the recent evolution of gitano collective action, informed by the emergence of new and critical ethnic autonomous agents (feminism, LGTB).

About the author:

Antonio Montańés is FPI Junior Researcher at the Department of Sociology V of Complutense University of Madrid and Marie Curie RA at Maynooth University. He has been appointed a Visiting Scholar at the University of Saint Andrews (UK), University of Aberdeen (UK) and Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain).
