Integrarea romilor în Transilvania Habsburgică
Gypsies Integration into Society of the Habsburg Empire in Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: Ideological conceptions about ethnicity, nation and religious confession require new approaches through the current issue of the great European family. An approach to the history of minorities in Transylvania intercultural plan requires the submission of their role in socio-cultural Romanian. Cultural contribution of various national minorities in the Romanian cultural profile, the structure of cultural identity of this area is organized on two levels: on the one hand historical provinces create regional identity, and on the other hand the real regional identity contributes to the creation of Romanian national identity. Of course there are identities that are not related to or defined by geographical area (ed the Gypsy community). Documentary sources assess that the contribution of Roma in the common heritage is extremely low due to the exclusion of the Roma in social status, they are in a state of slavery. Like everywhere in Romania, in Transylvania can not talk about a specific territory exclusively or predominantly inhabited by Roma, as the other existing minority. Gypsy culture and civilization have a predominant symbiotic character who contributed to the common heritage (Burtea, 2002). Absence of the territory, dispersed nature of life, have led to depriving Roma of the chance to have some own religious, administrative, cultural, educational institutions, etc.. (Zamfir et all, 1993).
