Abstract

Analysing the conflicts between the Oleiros community and the gypsies ethnic minority, we aim to understand how the 
speeches, the behaviours and the attitudes of various social actors involved in this process reflect some tensions in 
the Oleiros social structure, which allow us to anticipate that the gypsies became a pretext to few created gaps and 
to socio-economic and politic situations that surpass them.
