This chapter critically examines the state of Romani Studies in Spain, a country where the field remains poorly established and lacks a critical approach within the academic discipline. The starting point is the challenge of writing Romani history from a Romani perspective. Reconstructing Romani history and building a collective memory are essential for fostering positive collective thinking and promoting inclusive public policies. Therefore, developing a Romani historical narrative is crucial for its dissemination and integration into other social spheres. However, this task faces a longstanding obstacle in Spain: the negative portrayal of Roma by non-Roma society, which is also reflected in academia, where stereotypes, epistemological limitations, and racism dominate the analysis. Roma are often studied from a colonial, paternalistic viewpoint, reinforcing negative representations that legitimize their marginalization. Drawing on the author’s recent experience and connecting it to the current state of Romani Studies in Spain, this chapter aims to highlight the racism within academia—even in the so-called “decade of Romani inclusion”—and argues for the benefits to the social and human sciences of incorporating Romani thought.
