Abstract

The article gives a brief overview of the Bulgarian Gypsies' way of living in Bulgaria before 1944; however, the main focus of this research is on the Gypsy employment in socialist Bulgaria. The transition period after the Second World War, when radical changes happen in the lives of the Bulgarian Gypsies, is examined in details. The employment of the Gypsy ethnic minority in the farm work and the industrialization process, and the subsequent creation of the Gypsy intelligence are also important parts of the article. The new job opportunities opened to the Bulgarian Gypsies dining the period of socialism and the minority's reactions to them are presented and analyzed thoroughly.
