AB - An article based on qualitative and visual analysis of the newspaper “We Build Socialism” from 1950–1956 presents the little-known participation of the Carpathian Roma in constructing the socialist city of Nowa Huta near Kraków. The deconstruction of the time-colonial perspective leads to the conclusion that the Roma community was described in objectified and racial terms, highlighting its antisocial traits, except for a few men and women who were attributed with the ideological identity of the socialist worker, an exemplary worker fulfilling the economic plan of the People’s Republic of Poland through above-average effort.
