Special Dossier: Everyday practices of citizenship and identity among migrant descendants in Italy

Summary/Abstract: Special Dossier: Everyday practices of citizenship and identity among migrant descendants in ItalyThis introductory piece makes the case for the need to advance our knowledge about migrant descendants’ lived experiences and practices of citizenship through the example offered by Italy. 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 developments on the inclusion of migrant descendants require a closer examination of their political agency, which this special issue addresses through a collection of ethnographic studies regarding their identity narratives, everyday practices and acts of citizenship.
