“…Drawing on this insight, this paper also interprets the recent processes of migration in consideration of such hidden prejudices, which arise when the vulnerability of migrants is understood in exclusively ontological terms (Levinas 1987) that is, as specifically inhering in the human condition (we are all indiscriminately vulnerable). Following Casadei's categories of vulnerability, we may identify three conditions of vulnerability which migrants suffer, which have meaningful effects upon the modalities of reception and integration, and which we have had the chance to experience first-hand:…”

This paper deals with the relationships between urban policies for the integration of migrants and the construction of new spaces of coexistence in the contemporary city. It discusses the limits of the current conceptual framework of integration and shows how it works in a way that seperates space and people from each other. This creates marginalisation and segregation in already unjust and uneven cities. By contrast, the paper proposes a different perspective toward the construction of coexistence between local populations and migrants. It places a particular emphasis on contextual vulnerability and on its role in generative planning experiments that are aimed at creating inclusive cities. It also reflects on some of these experiences by considering their potential to reconnect local people, migrants and places, and shows how a focus on a relational and embodied understanding of vulnerability can give rise to supportive, less disciplining forms of coexistence in the contemporary city.

“…In addition, it should be noted that during recent years the international debate on multiculturalism has centred mainly on the crisis of interethnic co-existence (Alibhai-Brown 2000;Galeotti 1999;Melotti 2007;Spreafico 2006).…”

Journal of Modern Italian StudiesPublication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information: AbstractThe article presents results on the educational performance and social, cultural and psychological adaptation of children of immigrants from a quantitative survey conducted during the 2005/6 school year in schools with high percentages of immigrant students in Lombardy, a region of northern Italy. The sample consisted of 17,225 preadolescents (11-14 years old) divided among 13,301 Italians, 1,003 sons and daughters of mixed parentage and 2,921 of foreign parents. Data were collected by a questionnaire translated and adapted from the one used by Portes and Rumbaut in the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) of 1992 in the United States. They are used to present the Italian situation in light of segmented assimilation theory. The main similarity between California and Florida and Lombardy is the under-achievement of Latinos. Given this finding, an effort is made to consider various factors that contribute to shaping the socio-existential circumstances of this specific group.
