La riflessione sul “capitale sociale” e il suo ruolo nella configurazione dei processi migratori – dalla determinazione dei flussi e delle catene migratorie ai processi incorporazione (sociale e lavorativa) nel luogo di approdo – si è negli ultimi anni notevolmente arricchita, evidenziando non solo le diverse dimensioni e fonti del capitale sociale, ma anche le sue ambivalenze. Assumendo come presupposto l’elevata capacità euristica del concetto di capitale sociale, questo saggio mira a verificare quanto il suo utilizzo come chiave interpretativa consenta di spiegare, comprendere le caratteristiche dell’insediamento dell’immigrazione marocchina in Lombardia, in specie di quella femminile, che ne rappresenta il volto più nascosto e poco indagato dalla ricerca nel nostro paese.

Abstract

Assuming that the concept of social capital has a heuristic capacity if applied to the study of international migration, the article employs it as a key to understand the features of Moroccan immigration in Lombardy, with specific attention to female immigration, which is less known and investigated by the research in Italy. By making use of the concept of social capital is possible to explain settlement strategies of the Moroccans and their integration dynamics in the local labour market. However, studying the peculiarity of these phenomena, it becomes clear that it is necessary to consider the different types of social capital – as first Putnam and more recently Woolcock suggested, distinguishing by three types: bonding, bridging, linking – in order to understand which one is the more common in an ethnic group, the Moroccans, that is described as a “familistic community”. Furthermore, the articles tries to investigate both the link existing between social capital and human capital, and the role that local institution could have in developing social capital.
