Biography
Maurizio Artero is a postdoctoral researcher in social sciences in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, University of Milan. His research focuses on migration, citizenship and transnationalism, with particular attention to civic and social participation in the field of migration.
"Maurizio Artero's book is a valuable tool for exploring one of the most intriguing and controversial aspects of the relationship between immigrants and host societies: the role of volunteering, both for and by immigrants themselves. It perceptively interweaves diverse literatures: migration studies, studies on social movements, and studies on solidarity action."
Maurizio Ambrosini, University of Milan.
