- This research monograph presents an ethnography of governing encounters between Roma migrants and frontline workers in the home. Roma can be a hard to access group. The approach taken required a lengthy period of negotiating access and collecting data. The author lived with three Roma families for 14 months and learned to speak Romanës. Themes of ‘belonging’ and home were investigated over time and from multiple perspectives including Roma families, frontline workers and volunteers. Data were collected in field notes, life histories and informal interviews, as well as 73 formal interviews and 15 participant observation sessions with professionals.
