The culture of poverty of the Roma in Slovakia
The culture of poverty of the Roma in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: Abstract: The sociopathological phenomena in the Romany community are often defined as a part of the traditional Roma culture. There are, however, more patterns of behaviour characteristic of the culture of poverty and socially excluded places (perhaps contaminated by various traditions of the Roma). Our contribution does not give clear answers to these questions because we think that at the moment it is already very difficult to distinguish elements of traditional Romany culture from elements that are part of the culture of poverty. Our contribution is rather a consideration of the topic.
