Popis: This chapter provides a historical account of Gypsies’ and Travellers’ lives in the UK in the late modern period in order to contextualise the subsequent chapters. In providing that context the chapter addresses how existing legislation and research frames Gypsies’ and Travellers’ identities in terms of their cultural nomadism and ascribed ethnicity. The chapter identifies who the Gypsies and Travellers are that live in the UK in the twenty-first century.
