Sommario/riassunto

A minority and the state' is a much needed history of Britain's travelling communities in the twentieth century, drawing together detailed archival research at local and national level to explore the impact of state and legislative developments on Travelers, as well as their experience of missions, education, war and welfare.

It will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with minority groups, the
