Challenging internal (b)ordering. Antiracist and migrant rights activism in Italian cities

The contributions aim at discussing the limits and the potential of activism for migrants’ rights at the urban level, analyzing discourses and practices of resistance and disobedience in relation to borders and racialized social orders. We follow the research line of Keskinen, Alemanji and Seikkula (2024), adopting a critical lens of decolonial studies and critical border studies to put in relation antiracism and migrant (solidarity) activism. Our proposal is to discuss the often contradictory processes taking place in different Italian cities.
