“…The Italian agricultural sector is characterized by three distinct traits: high dependency on a foreign workforce, the precarity of the contracts linked to the seasonality of work, and a still significant share of undeclared work. As found by previous research, these traits are prevalent in European Union (EU) countries ( Palumbo and Corrado, 2020 ; Kalantaryan et al, 2021 ) and, in particular, in Mediterranean agriculture ( Caruso, 2016 ; Avallone, 2017 ; Papadopoulos et al, 2018 ; Rye and Scott, 2018 ; Corrado and Caruso, 2022 ). Sociodemographic dynamics – such as the shrinking and aging population and urbanization processes –together with low wages and the scarce attractiveness of agriculture have made this sector highly dependent on the foreign workforce.…”

Labor exploitation of agricultural migrant workers is a well-documented phenomenon by investigations and field research in several Italian regions, both in the North and the South. Despite the agri-food excellencies of the “Made in Italy” brand being a source of pride for Italian entrepreneurship, including the viticulture sector, evidence shows that many of these products are the result of different levels of illegal recruitment and labor exploitation. In this article, the authors analyze the impact of recent waves of vulnerable migrants entering the Italian labor market and present the results of a qualitative field research, conducted in Tuscany between 2021 and 2022. Through 60 interviews with exploited migrant workers and 40 interviews with relevant stakeholders, the authors focus on the recruitment process of vulnerable migrants into the agriculture sector and the labor conditions granted to them regardless of their particular migratory status. The article concludes with the analysis of the peculiarities of the Tuscan case study, characterized by the presence of a legal system of labor exploitation.

“…Newspaper articles, administrative measures addressing religious needs, and Islamic association notices are among the sources consulted. It was, therefore, necessary to carry out the fieldwork using sociological methods (AVALLONE 2017;KAUFFMAN 2009;SEMI, BOLZONI 2022) in order to interview the political-religious leaders about the past and the present. Fieldwork is still ongoing as part of a broader research project.…”

In contemporary Napoli, Muslim spatiality is mainly located in the extended area of piazza Garibaldi. Seven Islamic places of worship, generally called mosques, stand there; in this area halal markets can be easily found; and it is there that Islamic forms of public life are mainly visible, including celebrations for the Islamic holidays. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the ways in which that social space (Lefebvre 1991) is produced, experienced, conceived, and imagined by the Muslim communities and the leadership of the Islamic centers. The local scale is embedded in global processes related to social, economic, and political change, and to religiously oriented action of transnational subjects, whether they are institutions, movements or individuals. Based on the theoretical frameworks of Global Islam and Global History, the discussion provides an analysis taking into account different scales. Therefore, the paper pays attention to connections, relations, systemic integration on a global scale (Conrad 2016), and to the “shared use of the opportunities of globalization” (Green 2020, 18). This paper is based on fieldwork that is still ongoing as part of a broader research project. The fieldwork consists of participant observation—attending political-religious activities, Islamic holidays, worship and celebrations, public discussions, meetings, and initiatives—and in-depth interviews with the Muslim leadership of Neapolitan Islamic associations and members of the city’s government. Key words: Contemporary Islam, Muslim Spatiality, Islam in Italy, Muslims in Naples, Global Islam in Southern Europe.

“…Gli autori che si sono concentrati sul contesto greco hanno messo in luce il ruolo strutturale e sempre più indispensabile del lavoro immigrato per l'agricoltura delle aree rurali del Paese (Papadopulos e Fratsea, 2017), i processi di razzializzazione e i meccanismi di controllo e auto-disciplinamento a cui esso è sottoposto (Kukreja, 2019), le precarie condizioni di salute dei braccianti (Alexe et al, 2003) e le loro lotte contro il sistema organizzato dello sfruttamento nelle campagne (Gialis e Herod, 2014). L'utilizzo della forza lavoro immigrata nell'agricoltura italiana è stato oggetto di un'amplissima letteratura che ha approfondito il ruolo del caporalato nell'organizzazione della produzione (Brovia, 2009;Perrotta e Sacchetto, 2013) e della segregazione abitativa e lavorativa (Perrotta e Sacchetto, 2013), dell'implementazione della serricoltura (Piro e Sanò, 2017;Sanò, 2018), delle lotte bracciantili (Avallone, 2017;Manisera, 2019) e delle forme di solidarietà locali (Filhol, 2013).…”

Il contributo indaga le trasformazioni del mercato del lavoro agricolo in Trentino e i cambiamenti delle forme di reclutamento e organizzazione della forza-lavoro immigrata e la sua composizione. La coltivazione frutticola costituisce una delle attività economiche più importanti del Trentino e si basa strutturalmente sul lavoro immigrato, soprattutto di stagionali "comunitari" dall'est Europa. Il loro reclutamento si è basato su un modello consolidato che prevede il rapporto fiduciario tra datori di lavoro e lavoratori. Tale modello ha iniziato a incrinarsi per effetto del ri-disegnamento delle traiettorie migratorie dei lavoratori che si stanno orientando verso Paesi dell'Europa centrale. Ecco che, quindi, si è iniziato a fare ricorso a rifugiati e richiedenti asilo, arrivati in Trentino negli ultimi anni. Il contributo, oltre ad analizzare queste trasformazioni, approfondirà l'impatto della pandemia sui meccanismi di reclutamento e organizzazione della forza-lavoro immigrata.
