Integralismo e politiche di accoglienza. Percorsi etnografici tra le (de)politicizzazioni delle migrazioni
The consensus gained by far-right parties and movements seems to have a privileged relationship with the migration issue, thus the need to question the relationship between these two phenomena. The objective of this article is to stimulate a reflection that crosses the relationship between integralist neo-nationalist movements and reception policies. To do this we will look at reception not from within but from outside, and at the same time at po…
It's Only a Matter of Hope
This article stems from ethnographic research conducted in three Senegalese contexts: Louga, Diaobé, and the Saloum Islands. The underemployment of young people, deagrarianization, and other phenomena are intertwined with a growing criminalization of displacement and an irregularization of international migration. By debunking the idea that the processes of deciding to migrate are linear, we propose an alternative understanding of what choice mea…
Generazione Jakarta. (Im)mobilità e neoliberismo ordinario tra i giovani di Louga (Senegal)
L’articolo discute le rappresentazioni e le aspirazioni dei Jakarta men di Louga (Senegal). Questo termine si riferisce ai conduttori di moto-taxi di fabbricazione asiatica, grazie ai quali molti giovani si inseriscono nell’economia informale di diverse cittadine senegalesi. Le loro esperienze mostrano come nonostante una crescente condizione di vulnerabilità, i giovani siano tutt’altro che attori passivi o immobili sul fronte dei rapporti social…
Migration drivers and migration choice
The notion of migration as being at least partly about 'choice' is deeply rooted in both academic thought and public policy. Recent contributions have considered migration choice as step-wise in nature, involving a separation between 'aspiration' and 'ability' to migrate, whilst stressing a range of non-economic factors that influence migration choices. But such nuances have not prevented the emergence of a significant area of public policy that …
Exploring Mobility Through Mobility
West African Migrations to Italy
In this article we combine a mobility perspective with a biographical approach to explore the Italian experience of Ghanaian and Senegalese migration emphasising expectations, obstacles and practices in contexts of uncertainty and precariousness. First, we provide readers with an historical background of West African migration to Italy, and Emilia Romagna in particular, from the end of the 1980s to the present. We highlight the link between migra…
Migrant Associations' Double Engagement and the Transnationalisation of Public Spheres
With this chapter I focus on a specific form of transnational engagement and space of action, namely that of migrant associations. In the last ten years there is an expanding interest in migrants who with their organisations strengthen transnational connections and address remittances not only to the kin groups but also to broader social and collective projects in the country of origin. This social process can be well explored by a transnational …

Rehearsing Transnational Citizenship
Relying on the case of the Senegalese in Italy, the paper addresses the following research challenge: may migrant associations’ activities and involvement in co-development projects be conducive to the transnationalization of citizenship? Together with the illustration of the process of diversification of Senegalese associational trajectories, I will discuss the opportunities for co-development but also the difficulties encountered in its impleme…
Everyday practised citizenship and the challenges of representation
Italy is home to a population of second-generation children of first-wave migrants who are forming and becoming involved in various associations. If the first immigrant associations tended to struggle for recognition through engaging in social activities based on Italian associational structures, the second-generation associations tend to address fully the issue of citizenship and to cross local and sometimes national boundaries. This kind of str…
More Than a Trade Diaspora
West African Transnationalisms Compared
The paper compares two different West African communities living and working in Italy. The mostly male Senegalese migrants generally belong to the Mouride Sufi brotherhood, whose vertical and horizontal ties are reproduced in transnational networks, and these often help migrants organise their business activities as well as their temporary settlement within the receiving contexts. Ghanaians in Italy are Christians with a growing number of Penteco…
Transmigrants » mais pas « nomades
Pour rendre compte de ce qui semble être une nouvelle manière de vivre les expériences de migration, certains auteurs ont forgé de nouveaux concepts comme celui de « transnationalisme ». Ce terme est employé pour décrire les processus à travers lesquels les migrants créent des champs sociaux qui traversent les frontières géographiques et politiques. Les migrants wolof mourides en Italie constituent une bonne illustration de migration transnationa…
Translocal development
‘Translocal development’ refers to policies of coopération décentralisée , which decentralise aid practices to institutions below the level of the state, especially local authorities, and stress the importance of involving institutions in both North and South so that all are jointly engaged in an enterprise of codéveloppement . Our specific concern in this paper is with projects that include transnational migrants and their associations, and we e…
Transnational Mouridism and the Afro-Muslim Critique of Italy
Founded in the 1880s by Cheick Amadou Bamba, the Mouride brotherhood has its capital in Touba, Senegal, where Mourides have constructed the largest mosque in sub‐Saharan Africa. The brotherhood's vertical and horizontal ties and a culture of migration have been readily reproduced within transnational networks. Most Mouride migrants are men, who are involved in circulatory migration. They have left their families in Senegal where their transnation…

From 'ethnic group' to 'transnational community'? Senegalese migrants' ambivalent experiences and multiple trajectories
The article discusses the ambivalent experiences of Senegalese migrants within the 'transnational' spaces uniting Italy and Senegal. It is argued that to name transnational what was previously called 'ethnic group' does not necessarily prevent a reified conceptualisation of migratory phenomena. With the aim of providing an ethnographic representation which is respectful of the complexity and the multiplicity of trajectories characterising a trans…
Senegalese Street-Sellers, Racism and the Discourse on ‘Irregular Trade’ in Rimini
The coast of Emilia-Romagna is a favourite destination for the seasonal movement of Senegalese street-sellers. It is no coincidence that Rimini hosted one of the first racist demonstrations of shopkeepers in 1989. The situation has worsened over time. In fact, the local public discourse on immigration never developed autonomously but has always been connected to the discourse expressing the main concern of the town: irregular trade. Yet discourse…
