Abstract
La crisis urbana que experimentó la ciudad de Madrid durante la posguerra no tuvo una rápida solución y sus efectos perduraron todavía en los años ochenta, momento en que el chabolismo que había afectado a una heterogénea masa de población terminó por estar protagonizado por las comunidades gitanas. Aunque esto último no constituyó el único factor, desempeñó un papel crucial en su discriminación, ya que la creación de barrios y poblados específicos para esta etnia contribuyó a su estigmatización desde una perspectiva racial que dio paso a discursos de odio, violencia y hostigamiento a las personas romaníes que los habitaban. Este artículo pretende revisar lo anterior a partir de la contextualización del encaje social y urbano de los romaníes en el Madrid de los años ochenta, y al mismo tiempo relacionarlo con algunos de los episodios que la prensa reportó en dicha década dentro de la capital.
The urban crisis that the city of Madrid experienced during the postwar period did not have a quick solution and its effects continued into the 1980s, when the shantytowns that had affected a heterogeneous mass of the population ended up being dominated by the Roma communities. Although the latter was not the only factor, it did play a crucial role in their discrimination, since the creation of specific neighbourhoods and settlements for this ethnic group contributed to their stigmatization from a racial perspective that gave way to discourses of hatred, violence and harassment of the Roma people who inhabited them. This article aims to review the above from the contextualization of the social and urban setting of the Roma in Madrid in the 1980s, and at the same time relate it to some of the episodes that the press reported in that decade in the capital.
