Summary:

This account of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller policy and practice in education, social policy and politics is enriched with reflection, theoretical analysis and biographical narratives. It draws on the author's 25 years' experience of working as an activist, educationalist and researcher for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller rights. Sites of Resistance is essential reading for service providers, campaigners and academics. It illustrates how crucial it is that those at the margins have agency and are empowered in the quest for social justice, and that those in school, community and the academy who are working 'with', 'for' or 'on' Traveller communities reflect critically on their practice.
