Italian Citizenship Now! The 5W+1H of Second-Generation Activism

The general aim of this article is to give a broad outline of the migrant descendant associations in Italy and the reasons for their protests, with a view to understanding their status in society and the reasons behind their decision to mobilize asa movement. In order to describe the events, behaviour and reasons underlying the movement process, the protests will be examined by borrowing techniques from other practices, such as journalism (the 5Ws+1H model), that will be helpful in describing and preparingthe ground for understanding collective actions. Several key features will emerge in this analysis, which offers a broad definition of the movement itself and the articulated network on which it relies on in accordance with the recent social movement theories.
