Abstract

The expansion of Protestant teaching among Roma in southeastern Serbia, more intensely in the last decade and a half, has initiated the process of reshaping their collective identity. Customs and habits of Roma Baptists, Adventists, Pentecostals and Jehovah’s Witnesses in towns and villages lead to the reconsideration of generally accepted relations inside and outside of the Romani community. In the light of the newly-accepted religious worldview, the core of the ethnic and cultural independence of the members of the Romani people – recognizably called Rromanipe – starts to be based on the changed “distinction emblems” in the area of health culture, culture of behavior, work and entrepreneurship, etc. The rethinking and adaptation of dominant components of Romani culture is taking place, with the most significant one being that which emphasizes the importance of existence instead of possession of material goods – “not to have, but to be”.
