Abstract: Abstract Throughout history, Roma populations have been regarded as having no legitimate ‘place’ in society. This is a view held by many people in today’s ‘settled’ populations who generally perceive that the presence of Roma in a community usually signals the arrival of anti-social behaviour, even though such behaviour is not exclusive to any one section of society. This chapter examines entrepreneurial activity within the Roma communities, plus the challenges involved in creating a sustainable business while living a nomadic or settled Roma existence.
