Summary/Abstract: The author is an experienced researcher of the Roma community, which has been – among the others – the field of his study for over the last half a century. Speaking from this position, he attempts to respond to the process of decolonization of Romological research, practiced in recent years. Having noticed a number of typically colonizing elements in his own research practice, he raises questions about both the ethical and substantive assessments of this activity. He also points to the – unconscious (?) – continuation of colonization practices carried out by contemporary critics of the research, applied to Romani studies by the former colonizers.
