 Hi,

I hope you are well, in this complicated period.

For the French-speaking/reading members, I would like to inform you about
the publication of the following articles:



- *Transnational ties with the African extended family in mixed families in
Italy* published last year in *La revue internationale de l'éducation
familiale* *n. 46 *focused on* “*Construction and reconstruction of family
ties in migratory paths”.


Abstract

Maintaining links with the family of origin is a key issue for the
transmission of the sense of belonging to children when only one of the
parents is a migrant. The article focuses on the transnational
intergenerational ties developed by mixed families in a postcolonial
context. Based on a survey carried out in Italy between 2016 and 2017 among
couples composed of an Italian parent and a sub-Saharan parent, the article
addresses the practices of maintaining ties, from a distance and in the
presence, as well as the constraints perceived by parents to keep them. The
analysis of the results reveals the role of the migratory context, economic
conditions, prejudices and gender in family dynamics.

- *Parental work and children’s education viewed by mixed Afro-Italian
couples in Italy *

recently published in the *Revue des politiques sociales et familiales,
n.134*. The special issue coordinated by Anne Unterreiner focuses on
“Parenthood and migration”, including some interesting contributions on
mixed families.

Abstract,

The experience of parenthood can raise specific questions when one of the
parents has experienced international migration during their life. This
work examines the life experience of mixed couples from their
representations of parental work and educational styles. A survey conducted
in Italy between 2016 and 2017 among Sub-Saharan African and Italian
parents highlighted their views on the negotiation and distribution of
parental roles and differences in daily educational styles. Semi-directive
interviews conducted with 20 parents and the resonance of the mothers’ and
fathers’ discourses reveal the social and gender relations underlying
representations of educational and parental work. These results underline
the need to consider the discourses of mixed couple parents to grasp the
multiplicity of the determining factors that can play a part in parental
experience and the singularity of family pathway
