dc.description.abstractCan legislation resolve the conflicts between ‘national majorities’ and Romani/Gypsy/Roma/Traveller communities? It won’t do so, until the framers of law become aware not only of the ways in which these communities resolve conflicts among themselves, but also of the historical origins of such conflicts. In this presentation, Professor Thomas Acton D.Phil. (Oxon.) introduces us to the vast legal traditions of Romani people. To this goal, law is explored as a process, while social conflict is presented as a social institution in which participants possess common understandings. Untangling the common threads of those understandings is one of the most interesting yet difficult areas of the study of law and society.
