Българските роми мигранти или как миграцията променя ценностите
Valves’ changes zmong bulgarian’s roma migrants

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to search for pro- and con- evidences for the hypothesis that there is a correspondence between the migratory movements and experiences on the one hand and the change of values on the other. The object is on the values of the Roma who emigrated from and returned to Bulgaria in these values’ relationship to the environment in the home and in the host country (cultural norms of non-migrated Roma, non-Roma in Bulgaria and the majorities in the host countries). Values that have previously been subject of studies are investigated. Research question are: is there a change in attitudes towards traditional values and those of the modern era, in views about education, in opinions about Roma’s integration and in Roma’s representations. Comparative analysis between the values shared by majorities in host countries and Bulgaria; between the values of Bulgarian Roma and of non-Roma living close to Roma communities; between the values of Roma ex-migrants and of Roma, who have never migrated is made. It is based on data from two studies (UNDP/WB/EC Regional Roma Survey 2011 and the European Social Survey - fifth wave / 2010). Changes in the value system of Roma ex-migrants and their character are accentuated. Possible explanations for these changes are offered.
