Abstract
En este artículo se exponen los diferentes puntos de vista de los beneficiarios de Renta Mínima de Inserción (RMI) de etnia gitana de la Comunidad de Madrid, con especial énfasis sobre la relación entre la posición social de los beneficiarios gitanos entrevistados y la presentación de sí que éstos realizan al construirse discursivamente como candidatos “legítimos” a la recepción de dicha prestación. A través de la descripción de algunos casos paradigmáticos de beneficiarios gitanos de RMI se da cuenta de las distintas estrategias utilizadas para argumentar la veracidad de su demanda de ayuda, a la vez que se exponen las tácticas que éstos despliegan para relacionarse con los Servicios Sociales encargados de gestionar la RMI.
This article presents the different points of view of gypsy beneficiaries of the Social Integration Revenue Policy of the Region of Madrid, Spain. The discourses of the people interviewed are presented in relation to their relative social standing and the socio-economic features that are most relevant in explaining their narratives. Special emphasis is placed on describing the way in which they present themselves in order to obtain this social income, and on analysing the elements they make reference to in arguing their legitimacy as recipients. Through the description of some paradigmatic experiences, the different strategies employed in their relations with social workers are introduced.
