Gypsies in the Croatian Social Space

Maja ŠTAMBUK

Sažetak

Non-territoriality continues to define the Gypsies. This fact
maintains and further enhances the social quality relying
upon family and close family kinship. Broader forms of
sociality are not frequent and mean less to Gypsies than to
other social groups. With pronounced features of nomadism
on all levels of Gypsy history: individual, family and national
levels, almost wherever they stayed for longer or shorter
periods, they remained on the margins of society. On the
other hand, regardless of their emphatically small numbers,
Gypsies in Croatia, if they want to participate in the
development of society both as protagonists and
“consumers”of development, will have difficulties in fighting
for a change of position while they remain autarchic, selfsufficient
or with only occasional and vague connections with
their environment.
