Abstract
This article examines the G2–Seconde Generazioni network as a response to second-generation social and political marginality in Italy caused by prejudice and the restrictive citizenship regime. Rete G2 was formed in 2005 by second-generation youths whose presence in Italy is linked to diverse migratory phenomena. The network conducts much of its activity online and also operates through local groups in several Italian cities. Along with their goal of reforming Italy's citizenship law, Rete G2 members redefine what it means to be Italian. The issue of Italian identity is particularly interesting for exploring the problematic inclusion of the second generations, given pre-existing tensions within autochthonous Italian society. This article considers how the variegated membership of Rete G2 coalesces as a movement under the G2 umbrella.
