Summary
One theme common to both Roma rights and civil rights is the role played by anti-integrationists and ethnonationalists, who argue that the nation and one particular ethnicity or race should be synonymous. These contingents within the majority populations oppose the two rights movements in order to maintain the status quo. During the Civil Rights movement, this camp insisted on preserving the “Southern way of life,” a racial stasis where “whites exercised power and blacks acquiesced.”
