Il ruolo giocato dalle famiglie nella riuscita dei percorsi di inserimento è ampiamente riconosciuto, ma assai poco tematizzato e valorizzato nelle pratiche e nelle politiche rivolte ai migranti sui territori di arrivo. L’approccio individualizzante al migrante sollecita processi di infantilizzazione e spesso impone separazioni for- zate anche dai legami familiari. Il numero monografico vuole porre l’attenzione sul transnazionalismo che caratterizza le vite di molti migranti, sulla trasformazione che investe i modelli familiari sia per i minori e gli adulti soli che con-vivono con fami- glie rimaste nei luoghi di origine, sia per le famiglie che affrontano sul territorio di arrivo la rinegoziazione dei ruoli e delle aspettative genitoriali.

Abstract
The role played by families along the integration process is widely recog- nized, but not effectively thematized in practices and policies focused on migrants living in the country of arrival. The individualizing approach to the migrant encour- ages infantilization processes and often imposes forced separations even from family ties. The issue aims to draw attention to the trans-nationalism that characterizes the lives of many migrants, to the transformation that affects family models both for minors and single adults who still refer to families who have remained in their places of origin, and for families facing on the territory of arrival the renegotiation of pa- rental roles and expectations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
