Article
This is an analysis of the cultural and religious socialization of young Muslims who were born and/or brought up in Europe. Is it possible to apply to them the category of “generation”, and why? The author goes on to examine religious socialization in the family, the diversity of ways in which young people re-appropriate Islam, and their current e....
Article
Conflict over the building of mosques in European cities depends very much on the degree of legitimacy acquired by Muslims in the public sphere. What is at stake is the degree of cultural and religious pluralism acceptable in a certain context. In Italy mosque-building has a strong symbolic dimension and involves both local and national actors, and...
Article
Les mobilisations laïques et religieuses sont le reflet du cumul de plusieurs processus contradictoires mais complémentaires. Elles expriment à la fois une volonté d'insertion individuelle dans la société italienne, une demande légitime de participation à la vie publique laïque sous différentes formes et le besoin pour de nombreux musulmans de s'id...

Female migrants, although representing a minority when compared to their male counterparts, have drawn the attention of local society...because of their demands in the field of public health, family planning and education.

Article
The concept of 'diaspora' seems to be a relevant framework for reading and understanding the parallel strategies of the settled state and mobility in contemporary flows of migration.

Mainly employed as domestic workers and care providers since the 1980s, Filipino migrants have been, and still are, largely invisible in Italian public space. Since 1991, once a year, on the last Sunday of May, they transform the streets of Padua, city of Saint Anthony, into their own temporary sacred space' celebrating the finding of the Holy Cros...

This paper examines how social mixing and celebration of diversity can be enabled through sports festivals marked by their carnivalesque atmosphere. Our analysis draws on a longitudinal ethnographic study of the Mondiali Antirazzisti (Anti-racist World Cup), a non-competitive football tournament and intercultural festival featuring the yearly parti...
Article
The integration of young immigrants is a key issue in European societies. The article examines how Moroccan and Romanian youths employ their family social networks to move beyond them to get access to other available resources in their context of migration. We find that youths evaluate families as their main source of social capital. But how do the...
Article
In ethnic group relations, objective conditions, i.e. socio‐structural factors, are determinant to explain the variable capacity of linguistic minorities to maintain their identity. But it can be argued that a minority's subjective assessment of its vitality may be as important as the objective reality. Thus, for a better evaluation and discussion...
