Encounter between Cultures and Identities

This book addresses several migration issues. It provides a theoretical and empirical framework, analyzing concepts such as transit migration, migratory networks; social capital, with particular regard to identity and heritage; cultural process and communicative approach, as key variables for a possible reinvented habitus. It also proposes a radical change in the interpretation of migration processes by opening a new perspective on the management of socio-cultural dynamics in the context of globalization, as the cultural consistency cannot be neglected in a transnational society. The wisest and simplest way is to benefit from the reinvented habitus, endowed with intercultural sensitivity, helping thus to promote various institutions to activate shared projects in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the twenty-three objectives of the Global Compact for Migration, as hope for better solutions in the future.
