Abstract
The article proposes to adopt the notion of diaspora as social practice for an analysis of Gypsy diasporas. It indicates the limits of the classical definition of diaspora, which is mainly based on the experience of the Jewish diaspora, and argues that the paradigm shift towards diaspora as social practice allows refocusing the debate on constitutive factors of diaspora making and on functions and main actors in developing a diasporic political discourse. The article outlines core elements of the Gypsy diaspora discourse and its main advocates. It offers thoughts on strengths and limits of this discourse and emphasises positive implications of the use of the diaspora concept for ongoing negotiations of Roma/Gypsy identity in the public sphere.
