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....
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...

"Immigration of Moroccan women has only recently become in Italy the object of specific studies. 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.

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. This article presents a critical overview of the evolution of the concept, and then goes on to hypothesize the long-term emergence of an Islamic diaspora in Europe, by...

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...
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...
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...

La observacion de un conjunto de fenomenos ha llevado a la formulacion de la hipotesis siguiente : esta surgiendo en Europa, como sujeto autonomo, un Islam de diaspora ? Despues de un analisis sucito del concepto de diaspora como categoria de analisis y condicion de recomposicion de la identidad cultural y religiosa, el autor muestra como el paradi...
On the basis of research carried out on Islamic populations within host societies and with the help of a comparative analysis of the religious behaviours and social strategies of the various communities considered (Maghrebin, Turkish and Pakistani), the author proposes an initial typology of the transformation of a religious field as yet too little...
