Contesting Race and Citizenship is an original study of Black
politics and varieties of political mobilization in Italy. Although
there is extensive research on first-generation immigrants and
refugees who traveled from Africa to Italy, there is little
scholarship about the experiences of Black people who were born and
raised in Italy. Camilla Hawthorne focuses on the ways Italians of
African descent have become entangled with processes of redefining
the legal, racial, cultural, and economic boundaries of Italy and
by extension, of Europe itself. Contesting Race and Citizenship
opens discussions of the so-called migrant "crisis" by focusing on
a generation of Black people who, although born or raised in Italy,
have been thrust into the same racist, xenophobic political climate
as the immigrants and refugees who are arriving in Europe from the
African continent. Hawthorne traces not only mobilizations for
national citizenship but also the more capacious, transnational
Black diasporic possibilities that emerge when activists confront
the ethical and political limits of citizenship as a means for
securing meaningful, lasting racial justice—possibilities that
are based on shared critiques of the racial state and shared
histories of racial capitalism and colonialism.
