Abstract
The concept of citizenship is contested and related to rights, entitlements, duties, membership of a political community, and normative judgments about the right way to live. This concept of citizenship does not apply to all who live within a geographical space and some minority groups may be excluded. We examine how one such minority group, the Traveller/Gypsy community in the U.K., has been excluded from claiming the full rights of citizenship as a result of their way of life. Based on an analysis of government documents as normative artifacts and interviews with relevant stakeholders, we explore how local authority practices may lead to the exclusion of this group from full citizenship.
