Based on a qualitative study on migrants of Somali origin who have settled in Europe for at least a decade, this open access book offers a ground-breaking exploration of the idea of mobility, both empirically and theoretically. It draws a comprehensive typology of the varied “post-migration mobility practices” developed by these migrants from their country of residence after having settled there. It argues that cross-border mobility may, under certain conditions, become a form of capital that can be employed to pursue advantages in transnational social fields. Anchored in rich empirical data, the book constitutes an innovative and successful attempt at theoretically linking the emerging field of “mobilities studies” with studies of migration, transnationalism and integration. It emphasises how the ability to be mobile may become a significant marker of social differentiation, alongside other social hierarchies. The “mobility capital” accumulated by some migrants is the cornerstone of strategies intended to negotiate inconsistent social positions in transnational social fields, challenging sedentarist and state-centred visions of social inequality. The migrants in the study are able to diversify the geographic and social fields in which they accumulate and circulate resources, and to benefit from this circulation by reinvesting them where they can best be valorised. The study sheds a different light on migrants who are often considered passive or problematic migrants/refugees in Europe, and demonstrates that mobility capital is not the prerogative of highly qualified elites: less privileged migrants also circulate in a globalised world, benefiting from being embedded in transnational social fields and from mobility practices over which they have gained some control.

Le domaine social se trouve de plus en plus contraint par la logique du New Public Management, ses normes et ses critères de bonnes pratiques. Résister à ces logiques constitue pour les praticiens du social un défi humain et professionnel incontestable. Mais quelles sont les formes que prend cette résistance ? Les positionnements professionnels révèlent que les options choisies impliquent nombre d'innovations dans les pratiques, regards renouvelés sur les situations et analyses évolutives des phénomènes sociaux. Par leurs expériences et réflexions au sein d'un secteur en tension, chercheurs et acteurs du terrain rendent compte d'un réel engagement professionnel et personnel. Le caractère bilingue - français/allemand - de ces écrits (chaque article étant résumé dans l'autre langue) permet de croiser des approches diversifiées et offre un large panorama, sorte d'état des lieux du travail social tel qu'il se déploie dans nos sociétés de type néo-libéral, et en Suisse en particulier. Soziale Arbeit kommt immer stärker unter den Zugzwang der Logik des New Public Managements mit seinen Werten und Praxismaximen. Diese Logik zu hinterfragen und sich ihr entgegenzustellen, stellt für viele Sozialarbeitende eine grosse menschliche wie professionelle Herausforderung dar. Doch wo steht die Soziale Arbeit heute und wie kann Widerstand geleistet werden? In diesem Band liefern Forschende und Fachpersonen aus der Praxis Erfahrungen und Reflexionen zum Spannungsfeld Soziale Arbeit und dokumentieren damit gleichzeitig ihr professionelles und persönliches Engagement. Die zweisprachige Publikation gibt die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Ansätze miteinander in Beziehung zu setzen sowie einen breiten Überblick und eine Art Bestandsaufnahme der Sozialen Arbeit in der Schweiz und darüber hinaus zu erhalten.
