%X This article discusses the politics behind the recently publicized arranged marriage                of a 12-year-old Romani girl, Ana Maria Cioaba. It speaks to the anti-Romani racism                in Romania and abroad inherent in the media portrayal of the marriage and criticizes                the racist politics behind the involvement of the different political figures in an                effort to ‘save’ Ms Cioaba. It also discusses the implications                of the media’s obsession with the ‘exotic’ oppression                of Third World women in the context of Ms Cioaba’s arranged marriage.                Ultimately the article also attempts to illuminate the precarious position of Romani                feminism in racist countries.
