Thomas Acton presents a rigorous and authoritative account of how Gypsy communities organised, resisted, and negotiated their place within British society across more than a century of social change. Drawing on rich historical and sociological analysis, the work argues that Romani political consciousness is not a modern invention but a deeply rooted response to sustained cultural and legislative pressure. Acton illustrates how grassroots activism and ethnic solidarity transformed a marginalised community into a self-determining political force, making Gypsy Politics and Social Change an essential reference for scholars of ethnicity, minority politics, and British social history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893801726171,"sku":"2026200009082-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a411f20a-d102-4103-9026-9b939723b31d.png?v=1782040029","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009082-secondhand-gypsy-politics-and-social-change","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
