Le 'seconde generazioni' : esclusione ed inclusione sociale dei figli dei migranti / M. Ambrosini, E. Caneva. - In: SOCIOLOGIA E POLITICHE SOCIALI. - ISSN 1591-2027. - 2009:1(2009), pp. 25-46.
Abstract:
The number of immigrant children in Italy has been increasing more and more. They are
impacting both on immigration as a phenomenon and on receiving societies. Thus, it
becomes important and useful to understand which factors matter in second generation’s
paths and potential trajectories. Through a presentation of different analytical
approaches on the phenomenon of migration, the paper explores the role of the family,
the ethnic community and friends, as well as of religion and religious organizations in
the promotion or prevention of positive forms of inclusion. With a specific focus on the
Italian context, it explains the social and cultural transformation that characterises
immigrant families, stressing the role that can be played by the human and social capital
embedded in ethnic networks. The main aim of this paper is to go beyond the
assimilation approaches and to highlight how immigrant families, ethnic networks and
religious organizations could promote integration and the upward mobility of future
generations.
