The present paper focuses on how the massive conversion to Pentecostalism among the Roma from Romania has to be understood as a reaction against the new emerging neo-liberal modes of exclusion that we have seen developing in the past two decades in Central and Eastern Europe. My paper takes a critical position in regards to the underlying assumption of mainstream Roma studies that see the marginalization of Roma as a matter of racism and negative attitudes on behalf of mainstream society grounded in an ethno-political mode of community life. To a great extent this is still the case, but thisapproach hides a much more problematic mode of exclusion related to the bio-political mechanisms of the post-communist state and the neo-liberal reforms - which have transformed the Roma in an under - class category.
