'Gypsies', 'Travellers' and 'paesants': A Study onEthnic Boundary Drawing in Finland and Sweden, c. 1860-1925
The study concerns two minority groups, the Finnish Roma and the Swedish Travellers, and their changing relationship with the ‘peasants’ – ie. the mainstream sedentary population – in a period of economic modernization and nation-state building.
Leaning on a wide array of qualitative material, the research forms an analysis of inter-ethnic relations, with a particular focus on micro-level interaction, conflicts and boundary drawing. As a socio-historical research, it aims to broaden a topic which has conventionally been approached from political and cultural perspectives.
