Jan Selling, well-known for his work in Critical Romani Studies, challenges stereotypes about Romani as passive and incapable. The interview explores Romani emancipation in Scandinavia, historical contexts of discrimination, and the importance of Romani activism for liberation. Selling also discusses the concept of Romani liberation, the Swedish Roman rights movement, experiences of Romani communities in Scandinavia, democratic institutions, women's rights, and including testimonials from Roma individuals. The chapter ends with a discussion on the legacy of Roma enslavement in Romania.
