Ukrainian Caregivers in Italy in Times of Polycrisis. Between Precarization and Resilience
Based on 20 semi-structured interviews collected in Italy between May and October 2022, the present article examines the lived experience of precarity of Ukrainian caregivers in times of polycrisis—namely, the COVID pandemic and the war which affects their country of origin, Ukraine. The interviewees’ self-narratives show an acute awareness of the suffering that a pervasive precarity has caused them all along their trajectories and during such cr…
The Intertwinement Between Freedom of Religion and Interreligious Dialogue
This paper investigates the development of interreligious dialogue in Brescia, a prosperous Northern Italian city with approximately 200,000 inhabitants. Despite similarities to other cities in the region, Brescia exhibits an unusually vibrant “interreligious scene,” encompassing numerous initiatives, events, and platforms. We ask why this vitality has emerged and what consequences it has for local understandings of religious freedom. To address …
The Precarious Time of Unaccompanied Minors in Italy Between Border Regimes and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Journeying Through Precarity
The present article applies a tripartite conceptualization of precarity-precariousness-precarization to examine the condition of unaccompanied minors (UAMs) in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic, on the basis of 20 semi-structured interviews conducted with UAMs from 5 foster homes in Milan and 3 group interviews with their educators in 2022. By providing a detailed ethnographic account of UAMs' trajectories, this study distinguishes between the m…

Debates around citizenship, migrant descendants’ identities and mobilisations have gained centre stage in the country in a period marked by increasing polarisation and racist discourses similar to those at the European level. The effects of these broader develo…
Political opportunity structures and the activism of first- and second-generation Muslims in two Italian cities
The present contribution describes Muslims’ opportunities for activism and political participation, as shaped institutionally and discursively, in Milan and Turin. It analyses the interplay between the national level and the local level, and assesses the implications that contrasting local arrangements have for Muslims’ activism, claims-making and, to a certain extent, even self-identifications – especially with reference to young, second-generat…
