Resumo(s)
The coexistence of people and societies marked by ethnic, social,
cultural, religious and linguistic diversity is a subject that still generates
controversies in contemporary societies. The “Ciganos’ situation” is an unavoidable
issue that crosses the boundaries of different European countries, which leads
to controversy and ambivalence in the so-called multicultural and/or intercultural
societies characterised by the principle of universalism. In Portugal, despite
the social and economic transformations that have occurred, the problems of
exclusion and poverty among Ciganos persist. They are still considered the
poorest ethnic group, with the worst housing conditions, lest schooling and
the main target of racism and discrimination. The Portuguese Ciganos are not
a homogeneous community. The diversity and plurality are not always easy to
grasp by the glare generated by the adoption of interpretive perspectives that are
reductively linear and deterministic of the Portuguese Ciganos. For the purpose of
outlining a national picture of Portuguese Ciganos, a national study was developed
that combines both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches. The
central goal of this article is to present the main results obtained through a
questionnaire survey carried out to Ciganos persons and to discuss the social and
spatial continuities and differentiations among Ciganos in Portugal.
