How to contrast anti-migrant racism? Nurturing reflexivity through a collective analysis of solidarity practices at the urban level
This article presents an innovative research experience based on a method (Collective Analysis of Practices) used in Venezuela among sociologists engaged in social movements. This method travelled to Padova (thanks to a refugee-researcher) and our proposal is to explore how to contrast anti-migrant racism at the urban level learning from solidarity practices shared through a collective reflexive work. Moreover, we propose to rethink (internal) bo…
Challenging internal (b)ordering. Antiracist and migrant rights activism in Italian cities: Introduction to Focus Section
The contributions aim at discussing the limits and the potential of activism for migrants’ rights at the urban level, analyzing discourses and practices of resistance and disobedience in relation to borders and racialized social orders. We follow the research line of Keskinen, Alemanji and Seikkula (2024), adopting a critical lens of decolonial studies and critical border studies to put in relation antiracism and migrant (solidarity) activism. Ou…
I razzismi attraverso gli sguardi e le voci dei bambini e delle bambine. Una ricerca qualitativa nelle scuole primarie di Padova e di Bologna
I bambini e le bambine imparano a fare i conti con i processi di razzializzazione fin dalla prima infanzia e riproducono le rappresentazioni coloniali dell'alterità. Sono attori sociali attivi e competenti. Non si limitano a riprodurre le gerarchie razziali, ma le sfidano quotidianamente utilizzando le culture dei pari. Lo studio si concentra sugli sguardi e le voci di bambini della scuola primaria con e senza background migratorio e, attraverso …
Changing the story: The Production of Alternative Narratives on Migration
Civil society organisations are often confronted with the difficulty of ‘changing the story’ on migration, as the dominant narratives produced and maintained by politics as well as the media are pervaded by stereotypes and fail to give a voice to migrants themselves. Such stories about migrants are told from the position of the host country, thus reproducing established power relationships between the respective national ‘us’ and a migrant ‘them’…
Music and words against racism: A qualitative study with racialized artists in Italy
The present article recognizes the limits of anti-racism in continental Europe and it looks at the emergence of a new form of political anti-racism in Italy developed by racialized youth through rap music and slam poetry. Drawing on Gilroy’s work and on the theoretical framework of “Black Mediterranean”, it explores Black resistance to racism in Italy. Based on a qualitative research study which used mainly in-depth interviews with artists, it sh…

Italians with veils and Afros: Gender, beauty, and the everyday anti-racism of the daughters of immigrants in Italy
This paper explores the everyday anti-racist practices of the female children of immigrants in Italy. We analyse two case studies: first, a group of Muslim young women in Italy who have publicly re-appropriated what is popularly known as ‘Islamic fashion’; and second, a group of young Afro-Italian women who meet both online and offline to share resources about the care of ‘natural’ Afro-textured hair. We argue that transnational feminist analysis…
(Faire) désapprendre l'islamophobie: Jeunes musulmans et (anti)racisme quotidien en Italie
Lutter sans relâche contre les processus de racialisation et d’infériorisation systématiques qui touchent les musulmans en Italie, tel est l’objectif d’une jeunesse italienne en première ligne de ce type de discriminations. La construction de leur identité en Italie est devenue problématique tant les actes et autres remarques racistes ne cessent de les renvoyer aux fantasmes projetés sur les musulmans d’origine étrangère. Le travail de l’associat…
The Making of Religious Pluralism in Italy: Discussing Religious Education from a New Generational Perspective
Italian society continues to be seen as homogeneous in religious terms and the teaching of Catholic religion in state schools as a pillar of the historical and cultural heritage of the Italian population, as sanctioned by the 1984 Concordat between the State and the Catholic Church. But profound changes have been under way since that Concordat, with migrant families settling in the country and their Italian-born offspring now attending Italian st…
Young Muslims' Everyday Tactics and Strategies: Resisting Islamophobia, Negotiating Italianness, Becoming Citizens
This paper focuses on young Muslims who are the first Italian-born descendants of migrants. It aims to explore how they cope with their sense of belonging in a post-9/11 setting characterised by two dominant frames, one based on security issues (Muslims are suspected of being dangerous terrorists) and the other on the New Orientalism (Muslims are seen as the alien ‘Other’ by Europe and the Western world). It is argued that these young Muslims res…
