Category: Trajectories of Change

“Trajectories of Change” presents new research projects on transformation processes in the countries of the so-called European Neighbourhood. The blog entries originate from the PhD scholarship programme run since 2014 by the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. The series attempts to combine the critical revision of regional and transregional geographies with studies in entangled histories and to examine complex change trajectories in the East of Europe, the Middle East as well as in the Maghreb and Sahel regions. The goal is to foster an intellectual debate going beyond the ambiguity of the culturally constructed “East” and beyond the artificial divide between the eastern and southern European Neighbourhood. The series is curated by Anna Hofmann.

Race is undoubtedly central to charting out the genealogical lines of past and present violence against Roma and other minority groups in Bulgaria.
