Abstract

B. SPECIAL FOCUS ROMA Dieter W. Halwachs* Roma have been part of the European population and culture for centuries and contribute to the collective plurality of Europe as do the Basques, Greeks, Catalans, Celts, Magyars, Slavs, Turks and all other ethno-cultural groups.

Due to their distribution across Europe and beyond, they are as a whole perhaps the European population group with the highest degree of internal ethno-cultural plurality, which results primarily from the different regional and national influences. This diversity is expressed in the different ethnocultural identity of each individual Romani community and every individual, which constitutes the typical European and the typical cultural human in general.
