Abstract

This article is based on the analysis of the transformation of marital patterns among Gypsies after their post-WW II emigration from their settlements in Eastern Slovakia to Czech urban localities. First we analyse marital patterns observed in several Gypsy settlements in Eastern Slovakia across different generations and then we follow the lives of Gypsy migrants in the Czech Republic. We are trying to identify patterns and transformations related to the decisionsmade by these groups regarding the choice of the marital partner. Our goal is to document modes of interaction between kinship patterns, local economic and political situation and migration movements between the localities under investigation.
