Antigypsyism is a core concept of the Critical Romani Studies. In my presentation I will explore the foundations of anti gypsyism. What were the conditions and ideas that facilitated the appearance of antigypsyism? How were Roma racialised? What types of stories and narratives about Roma were constructed? What were the inspirations for those stories and who promoted such narratives? I argue that antigypsyism has multiple roots inspired by political, administrative, religious processes at the time and it got important support from the Enlightenment philosophy and science.
