This study enters the world of migrants women daily involved in the work of caregiving
to elderly people in Modena.
The multidimensional analysis that characterizes this work brings together elements
which are examined, simultaneously, as bounds and/or opportunities within the
migratory experience of these women.
The interviews collected will be analyzed in parallel and linked to the international
debates on contemporary migrations: the meaning of transnational migrations, the role
of the networks in guiding integration, the limits and strengths of multiculturalist
theories, the concept of ‘superdiversity’, the link among entitlement, rights and access
to citizenship.
The present study place at the centre of its observation the “daily practices” that allow
every migrant to negotiate its ‘power’, its ‘freedom’ and its ‘rights’, so as to recognize
agency to these women in the creation of their strategies and social boundaries.
Moreover, the study focuses on the ability and power of the State, and its institutions, to
create categorizations among migrants based on their social and economic ‘usefulness’,
which produce effects in the daily lives of these workers.
