Roma in Macedonian society from the second half of the XX century to the present

U radu se analizira proces razvitka romskog jezika i kulture kroz proces emancipacije Roma u Republici Makedoniji nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Rad otkriva sve važne osobe koji su učestvovali u tom procesu i koji su na određeni način stvorili elitu u obrazovanju i kulturi Roma u Republici Makedoniji. U borbi za vlastitu emancipaciju u makedonskoj kulturi Romi se suočavaju s velikim poteškoćama, odnosno s marginalizacijom, getoizacijom, segregacijom i diskriminacijom. Ipak, Romi su ostvarili veliki napredak i u području obrazovanja i kulture. Stvorili su uvjete da se romski usmeni jezik zapisuje te da postane pisani jezik i da se Republika Makedonija navodi kao država u kojoj je tiskana prva Gramatika romskog jezika na romskom jeziku. Svijetu su podarili i kazalište koje je svojim radom uvršteno u popis svjetske kulturne baštine, kako u teoriji kazališta tako i u svjetskoj kazališnoj antologiji.The paper analyzes the process of development of the Romani language and culture through the process of emancipation of Roma in the Republic of Macedonia after the Second World War. It also reveals all the important personalities who participated in that process and who, in some way, created an elite in the education and culture of Roma in the Republic of Macedonia. In the struggle for their own emancipation in Macedonian culture, the Roma face great difficulties, i.e. marginalization, ghettoization, segregation and discrimination. Nevertheless, the Roma have made great progress in the area of education and culture as well. They have created conditions for the Romani oral language to become a written language, and the Republic of Macedonia is listed as a country where the first Romani Grammar was printed on Romani language. They also gave the world a theater that has been included in the list of world cultural heritage, both in theater theory and in the world theater anthology
