“…The women and men who correspond to that sort of conjugal mode of adjustment have experienced an "inner migration," that is, an autobiographical transformation whereby one puts oneself in the migrant's or the minority partner's shoes (Odasso 2014). In the process, they adhere to their partner's cultural references, in reaction against, or anticipating upon, the discriminations sufferedoften after first having attempted to access that culture through their studies or travels.…”

Studies on intermarriage generally take for granted the better integration of migrants, who married outside their own group when settling into a host society. Intermarriage, however, is a more complicated process than that, however; calling it “conjugal mixedness” stresses its intersectional quality and takes marital norms, inequality between partners, and social disapproval into account. In this article, I give current trends in French statistics, showing how important it is to analyze separately men from women and migrants from immigrant descendants. Conjugal mixedness is also constructed in daily life within the family. Couples find ways to deal with their differences: some adjust to the majority or minority culture; others elaborate a “reciprocal intercultural exchange.” Integration is thus the result of participation in social life, but in modern multicultural societies, integration also produces different lifestyles.

“…Amin's behavior is due to his position as a "father" and not to the fact that he is Arab or Muslim 19 . Sara's father, Italian and Catholic, behaves similarly (Odasso 2013). Why, in two differently constituted transnational spaces, would two fathers employ similar modalities of transmission?…”

“…But in reality, as in Sara's case, a contrast in the parental dyad is not a suitable strategy to preserve the family unity. Anna, having developed a wider point of view thanks to her "migration of contact" (Odasso 2013(Odasso , 2015 21 , balances her husband's discourses and practices and her daughter's wellbeing. Amin intends to prevent Lia from repeating the errors that Anna and he committed in their youth.…”

“…14 Lia's family history was collected by L. Odasso for her Ph.D dissertation on a comparative study on the influences of everyday and institutional racism on intermarriages in Alsace (France) and in Veneto (Italy). The sample consists of families with one parent who defines him-or herself as "Arab" (Odasso 2013). Starting from the juridical dimension -bi-national couples at the time of marriage -and other symbolic dimensions, such as religious affiliation and ethnicity the analysis shows how "mixedness" is still determined by the outside context and stigmatization affects not only the migrant but also the native partner.…”

Abstract:Based on two case studies of adolescent daughters of migrant and mixed families in Bavaria (Germany) and in Veneto (Italy), the paper aims to study how the daughters solve the conflicting interactions between the contents of the transmission and of the socialization. Focused mostly on gendered interactions and on a sense of belonging, the reflection investigates if and how structural elements (e.g.: family configuration, national context and migration trajectories of parents) impact on continuity and discontinuity in passing on values and other sets of information.The observation of "status passages" and "socio-ecological transitions" in and between private and public spheres thanks to the analysis of life histories are suitable to grasp the specific effects of handing down and its interaction with the socialization over generations. This approach entails the articulation of "time" (namely the interplay between past and present) and "space" (namely the private and public spheres) allowing retracing the outline of the "generational work" that each family performs consciously and unconsciously. In different geographical and socio-cultural contexts as well as in different family patterns, parenting and adolescent dynamics reveal common features. By pointing out the restructuration that adolescence imposes in life courses, we show that it is the meaning given to the parental experience of migration that entails specific form of "loyalty" due to emotional and juridical (de)nationalized belonging, as well as to previous experiences of socialization and discrimination. The originality of the reflection is connected to the patterns of the families compared. The authors widen the concept of migration classically employed in academia introducing the innovative concept of "migration of contact".

“Making Italians” without Italy: Sociology of Non-State Intermediaries of an External Citizenship

Highly restrictive for immigrants and their children living on national territory (ius soli), Italian citizenship law is among the most generous for the descendants of its emigrants abroad (ius sanguinis). Italian citizenship gives access to one of the world’s most powerful passports in addition to important political rights, it is thus the most sought-after citizenship for non-resident co-ethnics. By shifting the focus to how the right to this citizenship is implemented, and notably the role of non-State intermediaries (legal and non-legal professionals), the article questions how a nation-State defines its borders, both legal and symbolic or cultural, and brings to light the socio-economic and socio-legal mechanisms behind a citizenship acquired “by the right of blood”.
