Publisher: Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Volume: 25 pages, pdf Description: The purpose of this study is to analyse in a large-n cross-sectional format the patterns of discrimination, grievances, and political activity among European Roma (Gypsies) using data from the Minorities at Risk project. The model tested here is a two-step model positing that discrimination leads to grievance formation which in turn leads to protest and rebellion. The results show that the Roma, in general, conform to this model but differ in some important specifics.
