Migration, New Urban Ethnic Minorities and the Race/Ethnic Relations Approach in a Recent Immigration Country: The Case of Italy

Abstract

This paper contributes to the analysis of the relationship between sociological discourse on ethnic relations and social changes produced by immigration in Italy. It is organized in three parts. The first part investigates the reasons that until recently prevented European and Italian academic debate from using the concept of ethnic minority to analyze international migration.
