Retoriche xenofobe e migrazioni. La percezione di razzismo e discriminazione fra donne somale a Napoli

Abstract

This article intends to reflect on the rhetoric connected with neo-racism and islamophobia, based on the experience and perception of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination amongst Somali refugees and asylum seekers in Naples. This was achieved by matching the viewpoints of those women having been in the area since longer with those of the newcomers. This research, enacted by an anthropological approach and started in 2018, was implemented through participant observation, thematic interviews to the representatives of the main local Somali associations and by interviewing the female asylum seekers and refugees in depth.
