Gli “altri giovani” tra inclusione ed esclusione: uno sguardo socio-giuridico alle seconde generazioni rom

This essay will focus on the social exclusion of Roma second generations
living in the “camps” in today’s Italy. Based on Nancy Fraser’s conceptualization of social
exclusion as a matter of social injustice, which is defined by three dimensions (recognition,
distribution and political participation), this article suggests that Italian law, policies and
practices have particularly prevented Roma second generations from participating in society
on equal foot with their peers. However, for some of them informal political participation
has represented a site of resistance from where to start to raise awareness on the need to foster their social inclusion.
