A Place to Call Home

"[Castañeda] develops a rich dialogue between prior research, survey respondents, and ethnographic insights for each city. A Place to Call Home will make an appealing addition to undergraduate or graduate courses in sociology, politics, immigration, citizenship, religion, and ethnic studies." Stephen P. Ruszczyk, Sociological Forum

Résumé
What makes some cities successful in integrating immigrants while others fail? Using ethnographic observation, original survey data, and interviews conducted in New York, Paris, and Barcelona, Ernesto Castañeda compares the experiences of Latino and North African migrants and sets out to answer how different locations can aid or disrupt the process of "belonging" for its migrants.
