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).
