The subject of the paper is an area with small villages, largely over-represented by Roma population. In the middle of the 1980s, there were one or two small villages becoming ghettos, at present, 17 ethnically segregated settlements can be found in the micro-region besides dozens of other villages approaching towards the state of ethnic segregation. As a result of massive unemployment and the demographic changes brought about by the exchange of population, not only more and more villages became ghettos in the area, but the structure of local society has also changed. In each settlement either the majority of the inhabitants or, in more serious cases, the whole village community is excluded from the labour force market as well as from the education system, which could offer them social mobility.

The aim of the research was to measure the level and mechanism of discrimination against Roma and obese women in women's clothing shops in shopping centers. The method we used was discrimination testing (audit). The three testers were identical as far as their age, education and clothing style were concerned. The only difference among them was their ethnic background and weight. The result of the testing (N=51) was that both being Roma and obese significantly decrease the probability of being hired.

The events of the rapid onset of health threats, which resulted in a global pandemic and an officially confirmed state of emergency in the Slovak Republic in a few days, affected the inhabitants of the Luník IX housing estate in Košice in many ways. For a long time, Luník IX avoided the pandemic. The first cases of disease appear until the second wave of disease in autumn 2020. While in the spring, some Roma marginalized localities were closed in the district of Spišská Nová Ves, the inhabitants of Luník IX more or less enjoyed freedom. This study maps the almost annual pandemic situation in the largest concentrated Roma settlement in Slovakia. The aim of the article is to point out the situation in Luník IX from the onset of the pandemic until the beginning of 2021, when the settlement found itself in partial isolation, due to the growing number of people with positive results for the disease. How was the year 2020 different for the inhabitants of Luník IX? What restrictions were the inhabitants exposed to? To what extent could the activities of the non-profit organization ETP Slovakia – Centre for Sustainable Development (further ETP Slovakia), which has been operating in Luník IX for many years, be implemented in the Roma community? The research used oral-historical interviews conducted with employees of the non-profit organization ETP Slovakia, as well as other types of written materials (mainly decrees, laws or articles in the media). The authors worked mainly with historical and ethnographic methods. Based on the above materials, they compiled a picture of life in a segregated part of the city at the time of the pandemic.

The contribution deals with the research of children's folklore among Romani people. The author proceeds from her own experience, terrain research, written retrospective sources and literature. She was collecting the source materials for the study between 2005 and 2010, in different types of residential areas. Each of them presents specific features in gaming expressions, in knowledge and variability of games as well as in relationship to toys. Children in Roma settlements use toys collectively. Their games have simple rules, they do not last very long and depend on the actual situation, weather, and the possibility to use the surrounding space and the material offered. The nature in their closest neighborhood provides them with wide variability and possibilities. In Roma settlements, one can note modern varieties of traditional children's games even today. Children coming from non-segregated environment of a small town are better interrelated with their toys; they understand 'playing' in the sense coming near to its usual interpretation. Children from urban agglomeration are lacking mostly in the space itself. Their nearer contact with every-day reality and majority inhabitants in the neighborhood are reflected in diversity of games (cards, cara), used toys (toys for sandpit) and e.g. even in using the children's counting-our rhymes implied from Czech cultural environment.

The study analyses inter-household supporting networks among impoverished Roma and non-Roma households. The author concentrates on one dimension of relationships: what material and non-material relationships support the subsistence of poor households. Due to the datasets in reach-characteristics of supporting relationships of the total population, the circumstances of similarly impoverished Roma and non-Roma people may be compared. The most remarkable result of the research is that non-Roma poor households are significantly richer in their supporting network than Roma ones. Moreover, the characteristics of supporting inter-household networks of the Roma depend largely on their regional location as well as on ethnic identity, history and the traditions of inter-ethnic relations of the given region. As a conclusion the author formulates further research questions, the analyses of which may lead closer to the understanding of the diversity and different subsistence strategies of the population categorized as Roma.

The article describes reasons and context of the first police census of Roma people after the war in Czechoslovakia. Results of the police census confounded perceptions of float age of our area by strange Roma people, by their asocial behaviour, their wandering and begging. Migration of Roma people within the state was connected to problems in the east and in the return of the south of Slovakia in 1945. An attention in this article focuses on analysis of police census in Kosice with some links to former evidence.

The article is based on the anthropological research that was conducted between 2005 and 2010 as a part of two projects: The value of education from the Roma viewpoint (How Roma mothers understand education) and Function of cultural models in education (GACR reg. no. 406/05/P560 a reg. no. 406/08/0805). In the theoretical section, we build on the core concept of cognitive anthropology - schema theory (C. Strauss, R. D'Andrade). When considering the relation between culture and body we return to the ideas of M. Mauss (Les techniques des corps) and M. Foucalt (Discipline and punish). The theory of stigma draws upon the classical concept of E. Goffman. The practical section presents the results of our findings relating mostly to the different enculturation processes in Roma families and interaction at primary school that leads to the much criticised transfer to practical schools.
