How Ethnicisation Issues Related to Roma Communities Effect the Perception of Roma People by Future Secondary School Teachers
This article is concerned with the ethnicisation of issues relating to the socially maladjusted communities made up largely by members of the Roma minority. This ethnicisation is put into context with the current discourse about the Roma people and closely related to the symbolic form of the social exclusion of the Roma people by the majority Czech population. Part of this discourse is recorded here in connection with research into the attitudes toward the Roma people held by university students - future secondary school teachers. The research results are compared with a number of similar pieces of research in this area conducted in the past.
