This book examines the increasing—and increasingly enforced—settlement of Gypsies and Travellers into conventional housing. The authors evaluate a range of Gypsy- and Traveller-related policies in areas such as social housing, community cohesion and regeneration, and race relations and equality.  Analyzing the impact of these policies, they offer an unprecedented look into the changing culture and dynamics of ethnic Gypsy and Traveller communities. Ultimately, this volume demonstrates the tenacity and adaptability of cultural formations in the face of policy-driven constraints that are antithetical to traditional lifestyles.
