Book Description
In recent years immigration and the integration of migrants and minorities have become politicised in public and policy debates in Britain, the rest of Europe and the United States. In such debates, migrants are commonly treated as objects of politics and spoken in terms of management, national interest, control and contention. This treatment has characterised not only policy makers and politicians but also many academics. Existing scholarly research on migrants as subjects of politics is limited and largely carried out through detached and structural approaches. These approaches have focused on the institutional environments in which mobilisations develop. They have, however, overlooked migrants’ conditions, experiences, subjectivities and practices as well as the focus of their engagement. This volume contributes to the study of migrants’ mobilisation through theoretically informed original empirical papers focusing on current forms and aspects of migrants and minorities practices of citizenship in an engaged and people-centred manner. In particular, the book addresses issues of change both in the forms assumed by migrants’ and minorities political engagements and in the transformations these engagements produce as well as exclusion-inclusion dynamics that migrants experience with regard to the political process and more generally. This book was previously published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Book Description
Immigrants and minorities in Europe and America have responded in diverse ways to security legislation introduced since 9/11 that targets them, labeling them as threats. This book identifies how different groups have responded and explains why, synthesizing findings in the fields of securitization, migrant integration, and migrant mobilization.

Book Description
"This book investigates the issue of local mobilization against asylum seekers in urban areas, which are often disproportionally affected by complex issues related to immigration and integration, as well as socio-economic development and growing inequalities. Based on ethnographic research in the city of Rotterdam, it explores the conditions under which mobilization against the establishment of an asylum seeker centre emerged, offering a combined analysis of interviews, social media and mainstream media to demonstrate the key role played by story-telling in the development of opposition to the arrival of asylum seekers. Presenting a novel theoretical model of anti-immigration mobilization that connects the social importance of storytelling to broader socio-political developments and conditions, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and politics with interests in migration, social movements and mobilization around contentious issues"--

Book Description
This edited collection introduces conceptual innovations that critically engage with understanding refugee movements as part of the broader category of ‘poor people’s movements’. The empirical focus of the work lies on the protest events related to the so-called ‘long summer of migration’ of 2015. It traces the route followed by the migrants from the places of first arrival to the places of passage and on to the places of destination. Through qualitative and quantitative data, the authors map, within a cross-national comparative perspective, the wide set of actions and initiatives that are being created in solidarity with refugees who have made their journey seeking asylum to the European Union, either travelling across the Mediterranean Sea or through South Eastern Europe. It explores these cases from the perspective of social movement studies alongside critical studies on migration and citizenship.

Book Description
This paper analyzes migrant organizational engagement by focusing on involvement in political and service-delivery organizations in several European cities. Do organizational involvement patterns show a common trait by which migrants are mostly engaged in service delivery organizations rather than organized in associations active in politics? Or do differing political contexts across Europe affect migrants' organizational engagement in political and non-political organizations? In order to analyze these questions, we draw from - and bridge - several strands of literature on the nonprofit sector, interest groups, political behavior and social movements. Past research has demonstrated that contextual factors are critical in understanding the varying patterns of involvement in political organizations across countries. In this paper, we specifically focus on the effect of policies adopted at the local and national level to integrate migrants in the settlement countries across European societies. We examine whether two dimensions of the political context - one concerning policies and legislation on migrants' individual rights, the other relating to the group/collective rights granted to migrants - shape the types of organizations in which migrants engage.The empirical analysis focuses on engagement in organizations by migrants in 9 European cities (Barcelona, Budapest, Geneva, London, Lyon, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm, Zurich). We use data collected between 2004 and 2008 on random comparable samples of between 600 and 1,000 migrants in each city. We employ negative binomial regressions and multinomial logistic regressions to analyze the distribution of migrant affiliations in 18 different types of nonprofit organizations (including both political and non-political types) using individual and group/city level predictors.
