In the light of a rich international research, this study examines challenging processes of family reorganization in post-migration period, focalizing cultural and relational dynamics experienced by family members and the well-being of the 2nd generation children. The analysis addresses two main research interests in various theoretical perspectives: both the intra-family cultural negotiations and the reor-ganization patterns of family functioning have been explored, discussing struggles and resources involved in migration transition. The comparison with a large international literature, in particular with the North American cross-cultural and crossnational studies, but also with the developmental and clinical family approaches, provides an inevitable empirical background within which the historical and intergenerational dimensions of the migration gradually have gradually reached more evidence.
Il contributo mette a fuoco i processi di riorganizzazione familiare post-migrazione, soffermandosi in particolare sulle dinamiche culturali e relazionali e sul benessere delle seconde generazioni. Due interessi prevalenti della ricerca - pur declinabili entro differenti prospettive teoriche – quello della negoziazione culturale intrafamiliare e quello della riorganizzazione dei pattern di funzionamento familiare di fronte alla crisi – orientano la disamina della letteratura disponibile, mostrando fatiche e risorse della transizione migratoria. Il confronto con l’ampia letteratura internazionale nord-americana fortemente orientata in ottica cross-culturale, crossnazionale e adattiva, rappresenta un inevitabile contesto di riferimento entro il quale, gradualmente e recentemente, è emersa con maggiore evidenza – grazie agli approcci evolutivo-contestuali e clinico-familiari - la dimensione storico-intergenerazionale della sfida migratoria dei singoli e delle famiglie.

Abstract
In the light of a rich international research, this study examines challenging processes of family reorganization in post-migration period, focalizing cultural and relational dynamics experienced by family members and the well-being of the 2nd generation children. The analysis addresses two main research interests in various theoretical perspectives: both the intra-family cultural negotiations and the reor-ganization patterns of family functioning have been explored, discussing struggles and resources involved in migration transition. The comparison with a large international literature, in particular with the North American cross-cultural and crossnational studies, but also with the developmental and clinical family approaches, provides an inevitable empirical background within which the historical and intergenerational dimensions of the migration gradually have gradually reached more evidence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
