Nicolae Gheorghe and Social Policies Towards Roma During the Communist Era

Abstract Nicolae Gheorghe, considered the father of Romani activism, enrolled in the Sociology Department of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bucharest, graduating in 1972 as the top of his class. Shortly after, he joined the Sociological Research Center in Bucharest, where he became involved in several studies on the Romani people. In these studies, Nicolae sought to demonstrate that the social integration of the Roma in the Socialist Republic of Romania was incomplete. This led to Nicolae being monitored by the Securitate (the secret police).

Rudarii din satul Glod, județul Dâmbovița. Studiu cules de Nicolae Gheorghe

Abstract Nicolae Gheorghe was born in 1946, in Roşiorii de Vede. In 1968, Nicolae entered the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Philosophy from the University of Bucharest. He finished, in 1972, as valedictorian, with an average grade of 10. Since he was hired in 1972 at the Center for Sociological Research, Nicolae has been involved in several research about the Roma, of which we want to mention two: in 1974, the Communist Party launched a research on Roma, which aimed to find out the causes of their marginalization in Romania; and in 1976, he worked on a project aimed at ”social integration of young gypsies”. Most likely, these projects targeting the Roma led Nicolae to take possession of this study about relatives in Glod.
