The New Southern European Diaspora: Youth, Unemployment, and
Migration uses a qualitative and ethnographic approach to
investigate the movement of young adults from areas in southern
Europe that are still impacted by the 2008 economic crisis. With a
particular focus on Spain, Portugal, and Italy, Ricucci examines
the difficulties faced by young adults who are entering the labor
market and are developing plans to move abroad. Ricucci further
investigates mobility and its drivers, relationships among mobile
youth and their social networks, perceptions of intra-European
Union youth mobility, and the role of institutions, especially
schools, in the development of mobility plans. This book is
recommended for scholars of anthropology, political science, and
economics.
The children of immigrants are growing and embarking on adult life.
What are their expectations? With what qualifications do they face
the world of work? What is their relationship with their origins?
Above all, how does Italian society view them? Through the voices
of the protagonists themselves, Second Generations on the Move in
Italy: Children of Immigrants Coming of Age offers-by means of an
analytical perspective and in constant comparison with the findings
of international research-a view of second-generation immigrants'
life paths in Italy. The focus at city level contributes to
understanding both turning points and key features of the "new
Italians" and what major trials they (and society) will face. The
outcome is a picture of a new young generation that will soon
challenge Italian society.
This monograph considers the Catholic/Christian religious identity
of young immigrants within the migratory diasporas in Southern
Europe. It details important ethnographical work on various groups,
such as the family, ethnic communities, and peers. The author also
considers the role of institutional figures in mainstream society.
These include teachers, administrators, and social workers. This
valuable research material helps readers to better understand the
viewpoint of young people (especially the children of immigration)
in relation to various environments which are important in their
lives. The investigation examines theoretical and practical
questions regarding the study of relations between religion and
migrations. It pays particular attention to both the youth
perspective and the effects of the current refugee crisis on the
perception of religious diversity and identity. Coverage also looks
at similarities and differences between young migrant and their
native peers. In addition, three case studies further help
illustrate the main points of the author's argument. The book uses
preliminary research carried out in Italy. It also features
interviews collected in Portugal and Spain. Those interviewed
include people with migratory background who are permanent
residents, belong to the second generations, or are
recently-arrived asylum seekers. Overall, the author provides
readers with an interesting and innovative portrait of children of
immigrants and their relations with faith in the post-secularized
Europe: indeed, by considering both academic debates and original
empirical data, the book offers the possibility of reframing the
link between migrations and religious identities.
What changes have the terrorist attacks on the United States in
2001 and the subsequent attacks in Europe brought to Western
societies? In what ways have these events and their aftermath
impacted on the relationships between Muslim communities and
Western societies? This book explores the remaking of the
relationship between Islam and Islamism, on the one hand, and
security and securitization, on the other hand, by arguing that
9/11 and its aftermath have led to the opening of a new phase in
Western and European history and have remade the relationship
between Islam and governmental and societal approaches to security.
The authors utilize case studies across the Western world to
understand this relationship.
