Work, life, and the everyday realities of migrant platform workers
Our introduction situates this Special Issue (SI) within current debates on work, life, and migrant labour on digital platforms, emphasizing how they reorganize time, mobility, and everyday life for those who work with them. Using ‘Souleymane’s story’ from the 2024 movie as paradigmatic, this introduction illustrates how migrants experience the platform economy at the intersection of border violence, legal precarity, and algorithmic management. I…
Associations of New Italians Abroad
Given Italy’s long history as a country of emigration, sociological literature has traditionally focused extensively on the associations of Italian emigrants abroad rather than on those of foreign migrants in the country. However, since 1973—when Italy began transitioning into a country primarily of immigration—new forms of migrant association began to emerge. At the same time, since Italy has never entirely ceased to be a country of emigration, …
The paradox of remote protection
Introduction This article examines the emotional and relational impact of transnational fatherhood within Pakistani families, focusing on the deep-seated gendered anxieties experienced by migrant fathers and the resultant emotional burden on their adolescent children (sons and daughters). While migration provides essential economic remittances, it disrupts the traditional patriarchal role of fathers as both providers and moral custodians, leading…
How institutions think
Health and social services in Italy frequently essentialize migrant women's reproductive choices as products of ‘culture’ rather than responses to structural barriers, precarious conditions or institutional failures of listening. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Verona in 2018 – including focus groups and interviews with both practitioners and migrant women – this article analyses how, to paraphrase Mary Douglas, reproductive health…

Illustrative Storytelling and Social Sciences
Comics are increasingly recognized as a flexible and multimodal medium capable of eliciting, constructing, analyzing, and disseminating qualitative data. Far from being merely illustrative or humorous, comics offer complex visual-narrative forms that can reflect and critique social realities, stimulate reflexivity, and engage diverse audiences. This approach highlights the scientific, ethical, and epistemological implications of using comics in r…

The economic backstage of the landings of emigrants on the island of Lampedusa. An exemplary case of migration industry
Migration industries around the nexus of mobility, immobility and settlement. An overview
This introduction aims to give a brief overview of research on the migration industries, based on our definition of the migration industry as all those eco-nomic and financial activities developing between people on the move and the border, we categorise the literature that focuses on this topic around the nexus of mobility, immobility and settlement. We suggest reading and interpreting the research along three main dimensions, depending on where…
The time-space-energy nexus in the gig economy
The intersection of migrant labour and the gig economy is a field of growing interest. Although there is no comprehensive public data on the topic, current studies show that platform labour in urban gig economies is often carried out by migrants. While uberised work has been quite extensively analysed, the dimensions of everyday life and time are still little studied. This paper aims to fill this gap, looking at the convergence of migrant labour,…
Practicing Multi-Sited Ethnography
The article illustrates the multi-sited use of the ethnographic method and the narrative in-depth interview in research on transnational migration between Bangladesh and Italy. Assuming a Sayadian perspective, the author explores the ways of accessing the transnational research field, the dynamics of anticipatory socialization at the interview within the transnational space, and the opportunity for collective self-socio-analysis and construction …
The embodiment of fear
This article discusses the results of ethnographic research conducted in the municipality of Verona (Veneto Region, Northeast Italy), during 2018, aimed at analysing the reproductive health needs of migrant women, and their access to such services in the territory. The research highlighted that, in addition to many critical structural-organizational issues, there was an emotional obstacle to the use of services - that is, the feeling of fear. In …
The migratory crossroads of Alte Ceccato
Italy acts as a migratory crossroads in which emigration, immigration, and internal migration continuously overlap. These processes have affected not only large cities, but also small towns such as Alte Ceccato (Veneto Region). After WWII this small industrial town received immigrants from the surrounding countryside, then from Southern Italy, and since the 1990s from the so-called Global South. Today it receives refugees from sub-Saharan Africa.…

Un modello trentino di "rifugizzazione"? Meccanismi di reclutamento e composizione della forza lavoro immigrata nell'agricoltura del Trentino
Il contributo indaga le trasformazioni del mercato del lavoro agricolo in Trentino e i cambiamenti delle forme di reclutamento e organizzazione della forza-lavoro immigrata e la sua composizione. La coltivazione frutticola costituisce una delle attività economiche più importanti del Trentino e si basa strutturalmente sul lavoro immigrato, soprattutto di stagionali "comunitari" dall'est Europa. Il loro reclutamento si è basato su un modello consol…
Brexit and the stratified uses of national and European Union citizenship
In this article the authors explore how Brexit changes the social meanings and uses of formal national and EU citizenship and how these meanings and uses are stratified, including by migratory experience, class and age. They do so through in-depth interviews with Britons in Belgium, EU27 citizens ‘by birth’ residing in the UK, and Bangladeshis who naturalised in Italy before moving to the UK. The article highlights the differences both between th…
The Racialized Welfare Discourse on Refugees and Asylum Seekers
The rise of anti-immigrant racism over the past two decades has taken place through multiple mechanisms and processes, including the resurgence of welfare racism, which has been re-functionalized towards refugees and asylum seekers. As a key weapon of today's sovereignism and white supremacism, the "return" of welfare racism is intrinsic to the rise of neo-liberal racism and is an integral part of a global process of erosion of social rights, wea…
Chasing the dream
This paper focuses on the gender identity transformations of Italian-Bangladeshi men who, after first migrating from Bangladesh to Italy, then undertook a further onward migration, relocating, along with their families, to London. The paper shows the ambivalences and contradictions, in terms of male honour, involved in the new migration towards the UK. Specifically, it shows how the crossing of multiple borders, as well as their arrival and stabi…
The globalisation of Italian agriculture. Transformations of migrant labour composition in agriculture in Trentino
The cultivation of apples is one of the principal economic activities in Trentino, which is responsible for 25% of Italian apple production and 4% of European apple production. The industry is structurally based on migrant work, especially from Eastern European countries in the EU. This model has come up against obstacles due to EU migrant workers redrawing their trajectories: They now tend to remain in their country of origin or move towards cen…
Decline of the Centrality of Work? Critique of a Contemporary Ideology
Ricardo Antunes is an author who is still relatively little known in the mainstream sociological scene, although he may be defined him the ‘lucid narrator’ of the ‘cataclysm’ that has swept through wage labour, during the era of (neo)liberal globalisation of capitalist social relations. \nThis review essays presents three of his important works Adeus ao trabalho? Ensaio sobre as metamorfoses e a centralidade do mundo do trabalho (Goodbye to work?…
Exercising Time Geography in gender and disaster. Discourse through Women Headed Household experience during drought
Time Geography is a boundary-oriented approach to understanding human activity in space and time. In this study, this concept is implemented to identify the daily activities of Women Headed Household (WHH) and their survival strategies in drought disasters and to understand their root causes through analysing capability, coupling, and authority constraints. This research starts to fill the gap in knowledge of the Time Geography in "Gender and Dis…
Introduction

Considering the importance of the topic, one year later, Dve Domovini / Two Homelands is devoting a new issue to migration in the pandemic era. In the editorial of issue 54, we analyzed the coronavirus crisis’s origins, characteristics, and social effec…
Implicit' remittances in family relationships
In this article - based on 100 in-depth interviews with divided and reunited Bangladeshi families in Italy, Bangladesh, and London - we discuss how remittances are influenced by gender relations within the family, what social meanings they assume, what family memberships they reinforce, how the intertwining between migration and family cycle affects them. By adopting an intersectional approach, we show how economic transfers are normally sent to …
Onward migration and intra‐European mobilities
This paper aims to give a theoretical introduction on onward migration and provide a review of empirical research on this topic in the EU. While there is a growing body of work on the topic, this still remains an under‐researched phenomenon. Existing studies have looked at different, often overlapping, dimensions of onward migration and how it may be an effect of mobility capital or influenced by variables as diverse as economic crises, gender, c…
Citizen to Stay or Citizen to Go? Naturalization, Security, and Mobility of Migrants in Italy
We analyze the relation between naturalization, mobility, and security through 50 in-depth interviews with migrants of different origins living in two Italian regions. We show how migrants pursue naturalization both to protect themselves against bureaucracy and deportation and to move to a third country. The second migration is motivated by improving one's conditions, forced by the economic crisis, or completes the original migratory project once…
The prism of new mobilities. The mobility trajectories of refugees and asylum seekers outside the Italian reception system
For over twenty years, Italy has faced the phenomenon of so-called “forced” international migrations. By virtue of its geographic position in the Mediterranean, this country constitutes, in many cases, the first landing and the transit country for asylum seekers in their flight from wars, political crises, environmental catastrophes and depletion of resources. This also implied a growing number of “rejections” that is, asylum seekers to whom no f…
Bangladeshi migrant associations in Italy
Referring to the case studies of two cities in Northern Italy, this article seeks to understand how Bangladeshi migrants use associations to seek transnational "ways of belonging" and "ways of being". It analyses how this transnational attachment to their home country has played an important role in building their own "community". The findings reveal that Bangladeshi migrant organizations work to maintain "transnational ways of belonging" by enab…
Onward migration
In August 2016, Maslax Moxamed, a 19-year-old man from Somalia, arrived in Italy. He spent two months in Rome, first in via Cupa in the San Lorenzo district, where he met volunteers at the Baobab experience, an occupied social centre that had been turned into a reception centre for migrants in 2015 at the height of the “refugee crisis” (Dines et al., 2018). After eviction in September 2016, he followed volunteers to the various makeshift receptio…

Deriving from multiple ecological-social causes, the novel coronavirus and, subsequently, the COVID-19 pandemic, has affected all spheres of societies of the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered and amplified an economic crisis that existed before the health crisis. The combination of the two crises into a double “ecological-healthcare” and “socio-economic” crisis has had multiple consequences for everyone on the economic, social, politica…

Times of Work and Social Life
Taking inspiration from renewed scholarly interest in the role of time in migration, we compare the temporalities of work and social life among male Bangladeshi-origin migrants in northeast Italy and London. We draw conceptually on time geography and rhythmanalysis, and empirically on interviews with 40 Bangladeshi migrant men, to demonstrate the stark contrasts in migrants’ daily lives in the two settings and the impacts of moving from northeast…
The dark side of onward migration
Drawing on multisited qualitative research in Italy and the UK, this paper documents the dark side of onward migration and the experiences faced by Italian-Bangladeshis in the UK after the Brexit referendum. The findings show that compared to their position in Italy, Italian-Bangladeshis experienced a downgrading in symbolic, identity-related, and, specifically, socio-economic and cultural aspects in the UK society. The paper also uncovers the po…

Trade Unions, Migrant Workers, and Racial Discrimination in Italy in Times of Economic Crisis
Trade unions have a crucial role in the social integration processes of migrants. Nevertheless, some aspects of this relationship are still relatively unexplored, particularly that of the relationship between trade unions and racism and that of the trade unions’ fight against racial discrimination. This paper aims to investigate the still partially unexplored link between Italian trade unions and racial discrimination within the framework of the …

Ambivalences of the emotional logics of migration and family reunification
This article analyses the relational and emotional logics of migration, separation and reunification of Bangladeshi families in Italy. Migrant husbands are separated from their wives, with whom they have had little family life due to their migration, and seek family reunification. Wives’ migration due to family reunification, however, means separating them from their familiar environments and social networks. For this reason, some wives press for…

By analysing two very different contexts from the economic and social point of view, we highlight …
Stuck and Exploited Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Italy Between Exclusion, Discrimination and Struggles
This volume analyses exclusion processes, segregation dynamics and the forms of discrimination of refugees and asylum seekers in Italy, where the reception system is marked by opaqueness and arbitrariness and is becoming increasingly similar to the model of “camps”. The numerous vibrant contributions present a fully-fledged system of inferiorization, characterised by labour exploitation, housing discomfort, meagre rights and control strategies, e…
Interstitial urban spaces
This contribution presents the results of an ethnographic research, conducted in the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy), which investigated the living conditions of refugees and asylum seekers outside the reception system and explored the heterogeneous and fragmented world of pathways they undertake in search of work and accommodation.
