摘要在这篇文章中，我参与了目前关于罗姆移民儿童的辩论。以加泰罗尼亚为案例研究，我解决了罗姆儿童与父母的分离，并完成了边缘化的罗马尼亚罗姆人家庭的支付计划。重点在于国家机构和民间社会组织所谓的人道逻辑，反映了结构性压迫，并揭露了对罗姆人作为一个群体的日常种族主义。具体而言，我试图解释“自愿返回”的做法和儿童保护方案之间的关系。对罗姆移民家庭的仁慈做法被认为是基于儿童的福祉。与此同时，对贫穷的罗姆移徙者普遍采取的“先走后付”的做法，将这些家庭推入了被迫流动的恶性循环。因此，我运用人道主义的理论，以及对仁慈政治的批判，来揭示对罗姆移民的制度性种族主义。
ABSTRACT In this article, I engage with the current debate on Roma migrant children. Taking Catalonia as a case study, I tackle the separation of Romani children from their parents and the completion of pay-to-go schemes for marginalized Romanian Roma families. The focus lies within the allegedly humane logic of state institutions and civil-society organizations that reflect structural oppression and unveil everyday racism against Roma as a group. Specifically, I seek to explain the relation between the “voluntary return” practices and programs for child protection. The benevolent practices towards the migrant Roma families are considered to be grounded on child well-being. At the same time, the common and widespread practice of pay-to-go for poor Romani migrants push the families into a vicious circle of forced mobility. Therefore, I employ the theories of humanitarianism, and the critiques on the politics of benevolence, to reveal the institutional racism against the Romani migrants.
