Riassunto:There are several biases that weigh on migration studies, including the tendency to think of foreign “communities” as monolithic and homogeneous and the reduced analysis of their segmentations, especially in the context of long-term rooting processes. These limitations are even more evident in a context such as the Italian one, where immigrant communities have taken on specific forms and characteristics depending on the local context in which they have settled. The study therefore uses the perspective of migratory stratifications to investigate how the Tunisian communities of Modena and Ragusa have entered their respective contexts and how the relationship between territory and community has impacted the permeability of the latter with respect to new arrivals and their political-associative structuring. Based on 45 interviews with first-generation migrants and 20 with key informants, the study explores the diversities of these immigrant communities, linking them to the peculiar migratory stratification that they feed and in which they are inserted.
