“…Further, the focus on race within this paper does not intend to minimise the intersectional nature of Roma, Gypsy, and Traveller experiences. (McBride and James 2021) In terms of race issues, within Romani studies the focus of research and scholarship has been bifurcated by firstly, a fascination with the integrity of Romani identity that has been criticised for its essentialising outcomes, and secondly, a focus on the political economic underpinnings of Romani exclusion that fail to acknowledge the impact of racialisation and racism. The need for a nuanced approach to understanding the subjugation of Roma in contemporary society is evident, and scholars have proposed useful approaches that acknowledge the impact of political economy on Roma while also recognising their racialized experience without essentialising their identity.…”

In order to consider how white privilege functions in late modernity, this article engages with issues of identity and political economy to theorise the impact of racist discourse on Roma, Gypsies, and Travellers in the United Kingdmom (UK). The article specifically problematizes the increasing aggregation of Roma, Gypsies, and Travellers as one community of difference in the UK. The article expresses the author’s concern that contemporary discourse and associated policy developments have racialized communities, and in doing so negated them through a failure to acknowledge the breadth of experience of Roma, Gypsies, and Travellers. The article makes a theoretical argument, evidenced by a comprehensive review of literature in the social sciences and key policy documents in the UK. It also incorporates an analysis of reports produced by UKgovernment and civil society organisations over the past 15-year period. The article argues that the categorisation of Roma, Gypsies, and Travellers as one community of difference has occurred due tothe embedded racism within contemporary European society that functions through and is augmented by neoliberal capitalist norms. In conclusion the paper argues that the norms of neoliberal capitalism, that are typified by individualism, competition, and the primacy of capital over human experience, allow the perpetuation of this racist discourse that is not challenged by narratives of inclusion but rather is augmented by them.
