Drawing on an extended case method approach consisting of observations, analysis of organisational documents and semi-structured in-depth interviews with first- and second-generation migrants working in a French car manufacturing company, this article examines how and why diversity management practices are perceived differently by first- versus second-generation migrant workers. Using social identity theory and equity theory as a theoretical framework, it was found that first- and second-generation migrants have different social expectations, which, in turn, influence their self-image, as well as their perception of organisational justice. The interaction between their social identity and their perception of justice affects how they appraise diversity management practices in their organisation. The study extends previous research on migrant workers and diversity management by building a conceptual model that outlines how and why diversity management practices are perceived differently by first- versus second-generation migrants.

AbstractBackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk is markedly higher in UK South Asians (SA) and African Caribbeans (AC) compared to Europeans. Explanations for this excess are unclear. We therefore compared risks and determinants of T2DM in first- and second-generation (born in the UK) migrants, and in those of mixed ethnicity populations.MethodsData from the UK Biobank, a large population-based cohort of volunteers aged 40-69, were used. T2DM was assigned using self-report and glycated haemoglobin. Ethnicity was self-assigned. Using logistic regression and mediation analysis, we compared T2DM between first- and second-generation migrants, and between mixed European/South Asians (MixESA), or mixed European/African Caribbeans (MixEAC) with both Europeans and SA or AC respectively.ResultsT2DM prevalence was three to five times higher in SA and AC compared with Europeans [OR (95%CI): 4·80(3·60,6·40) and 3·30(2·70,4·10) respectively]. T2DM was 20-30% lower in second versus first generation SA and AC migrants [0·78(0·60,1·01) and 0·71(0·57,0·87) respectively]. T2DM in mixed populations was lower than comparator ethnic minority groups [MixESA versus SA 0·29(0·21,0·39), MixEAC versus AC 0·48(0·37,0·62)] and higher than Europeans, in MixESA 1·55(1·11, 2·17), and in MixEAC 2·06 (1·53, 2·78). Improved adiposity patterns in second generation migrants made an important contribution to risk reduction. Greater socioeconomic deprivation accounted for 17% and 42% of the excess risk of T2DM in MixESA and MixEAC compared to Europeans, respectively.ConclusionExcess T2DM risks in South Asians and African Caribbeans compared with Europeans in the UK are attenuated by ∼20% in second-generation migrants, demonstrating the marked benefits of favourable changes in environmental risk factors. T2DM prevalence in people of mixed ethnicity was also raised compared with Europeans, but considerably less than in the ethnic minority group; persistent socioeconomic disadvantage accounted for some of the residual excess.

Literary Phenomenon

- The essay aims to give some insights into the topic of migration literature in Italian language, seen as a potential means of acknowledgement and social integration for migrant authors and as a decolonizing occasion for Italian readers. I'm going to question the issue of definition, which at the beginning focused on the concept of italophone literature and that afterward has become more complex. It's hard to reduce this literary phenomenon to strict etiquettes since it is constantly evolving. Moreover, limiting the literary works of first and second generation migrants in Italy to a rigid field runs the risk to betray the ambitions and the wishes of many authors, which instead refuse categories. In the first part of the article, starting from the thesis that these works mirror the social transformations which are going on, I'll seek to contextualize the phenomenon and stress some central aspects; in the second part I will show how artistic works not only reflect changes but also deconstruct and answer back to ethnic and Euro-centric visions, starting a decolonizing process into the readers.keywords Migrant writers in Italy (parola unica); Italophone literature (parola unica); Decolonization Italy Literature (parola unica)
