Focusing on the Catholic and Christian identities of young immigrants in Southern Europe, this monograph presents in-depth ethnographic studies across family, ethnic communities, and peer groups. It highlights the influence of institutional figures like teachers and social workers on these youths. The research offers valuable insights into the perspectives of immigrant children, exploring how they navigate and relate to the various environments that shape their experiences and identities.

The New Southern European Diaspora: Youth, Unemployment, and Migration uses a qualitative and ethnographic approach to investigate the movement of young adults from Spain, Portugal, and Italy to more economically stable countries.
