Public attitudes toward immigration have attracted much scholarly interest and extensive empirical research in recent years. Despite a sizeable theoretical and empirical literature, no firm conclusions have been drawn regarding the factors affecting immigration opinion. We address this gap through a formal meta-analysis derived from the literature regarding immigration attitudes from the top journals of several social science disciplines in the years 2009–2019 and based on a population of 1185 estimates derived from 144 unique analyses on individual-level factors affecting attitudes to immigration. The meta-analytical findings show that two individual-level characteristics are most significantly associated with attitudes to immigration -- education (positively) and age (negatively). Our results further reveal that the same individual characteristics do not necessarily explain immigration policy attitudes and attitudes toward immigrants' contribution. The findings challenge several conventional micro-level theories of attitudes to immigration. The meta-analysis can inform future research when planning the set of explanatory variables to avoid omitting key determinants.

Many states have recently re-discovered citizenship deprivation as a tool to exclude undesirable citizens. Scholars have primarily discussed the implications of this policy (re)turn from perspective of the state and the migrant communities targeted, while leaving embodied experiences of denaturalisation unexamined. This article draws on a unique interview material with 28 individuals in a hard-to-reach group: people facing citizenship deprivation and statelessness or deportation from Norway. In 2015–2016, the Norwegian government stepped up efforts to uncover and sanction cases of naturalisation fraud. Legal reinforcement was coupled with government rhetoric that spread fear and insecurity in the targeted populations. As such, it is exemplary of affective governance. Inspired by Ahmed’s economic and relational perspective on emotions, this article asks: what emotions circulate and stick in the affective economy of denaturalisation? How do these emotions shape individual bodies, families and communities exposed to denaturalisation? Exposure to denaturalisation gave shape to three constellations of emotions and estrangement: (i) pain, anger, and alienation from the national body, (ii) fear and destabilisation of families and communities, and (iii) exhaustion and self-estrangement. Undergoing the process of citizenship deprivation is therefore not only a deeply unsettling, embodied experience but also a process that reshapes social relations.

ABSTRACTThe conventional notion of integration as ‘immigrants becoming part of something’ has been widely criticised for its undesirable normative connotations. In response, scholars either discard the concept altogether, or they strive for a ‘non-normative approach’. In this paper, I argue that both strategies are unsatisfactory and present a third: through ameliorative conceptual analysis, I rethink the concept such that it is useful for both the normative and analytical purposes of investigating inequalities and social boundaries that so often emerge in contexts of immigration. Building on insights from political philosophy, I argue for a conception of integration problems as a subset of relational inequality. Crucially, this framework shifts the site of the integration problem and process from ‘the immigrant’, and a process that ‘immigrants’ go through, to the relations amongst all people within a society, and a process of relational change amongst them.KEYWORDS: Integrationmigrationrelational equalitypolitical theoryrelational sociology AcknowledgementsThanks to Richard Alba, Floris Vermeulen, Eric Schliesser, Rainer Forst, Luara Ferracioli, Ilaria Cozzaglio, Natalie Welfens, Fenneke Wekker and Fatiha El-Hajjari for their stimulating conversations on the concept of relational integration in various stages of the development of this framework.

ABSTRACTAccording to new assimilation theory, assimilation can entail not only the adoption, by immigrants, of the established population's cultural practices, but also the adoption, by the established population, of immigrants' cultural practices. However, empirical research on assimilation has either neglected adaptation on the part of the established population or identified only modest changes. We examine reactions to a massive and rapid inflow of immigrants, and specifically, those of Mexican-origin Californios around the time of the Gold Rush of 1849. Treating naming patterns as indicators of assimilation, we find that Mexican American children born in California after 1849 were significantly less likely to receive distinctively Hispanic first names. As a placebo test, we further show that a similar pattern does not obtain in areas (e.g. New Mexico) that did not experience a rapid inflow of new American settlers. The findings validate an important insight of new assimilation theory, as well as shed new light on contemporary research on demographic change.KEYWORDS: Assimilationdemographic changenatural experimentcultural practice Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 From the perspective of California Native people, the Gold Rush brought a ‘true reign of terror,’ killing, by one estimate, 100,000 Native people in 25 years (Dunbar-Ortiz Citation2014, 129).2 A parallel strategy is employed to identify the population of Neuvo Mexicanos.3 Unfortunately, we are not able to classify individuals in cases where both parents are not present in the household at the time of census enumeration, because full data on parental birthplace is unavailable. These individuals are therefore excluded from our analyses.4 We define the Hispanic population based on parental birthplace. Specifically, individuals are coded as Hispanic if both parents are born in Mexico, Spain, Latin America or California/New Mexico before 1848. As before, individuals of mixed parentage are dropped, as are individuals for whom we do not have full parental information. The remaining sample is coded as non-Hispanic.5 And specifically, in the remaining, non-Hispanic population in the California, New Mexico, and flat samples.6 Following standard practice, we drop from our calculations ‘rare’ names that occur than 10 times in the 20% sample.7 Statham (Citation2021)'s study of ‘imported assimilation’ amongst Thai-Western couples provides a contemporary example of how power asymmetries can drive the direction of cultural assimilation as Thai women shift their tastes, identities and lifestyle to accommodate their Western partners. See also Statham (Citation2020).8 Again, from the perspective of Californios.

Richard Alba has been at the forefront of renewing classical assimilation theory based on empirical data on post-1960s migrants in the US. He focused on the assimilation of migrant groups into the dominant non-Hispanic white majority group. This article − once again − rethinks assimilation theory. I argue that the new demographic reality in majority–minority cities in Europe and North America necessitates a new research direction, entailing the development of a novel theoretical framework and partially new research tools. Not only has the relative size of the majority group decreased, but shifting positions of power are also challenging us to rethink assimilation frameworks. I propose to look at present-day processes of integration and assimilation more as multi-directional. Everyone (including the former majority group) integrates into the ethnically and racially diverse urban context. I outline the contours of a new theoretical framework: Integration into Diversity (ID) Theory. This article focuses on how members of the former majority group integrate into the diverse city context. Based on their diversity attitudes and diversity practices, I analyse how their ID positions relate to socio-economic outcomes, the quality of inter-ethnic relations and feelings of belonging and safety.

Collaborative dissemination of research findings in the public and media spheres has the potential to reach large audiences, enhance forced migrants’ political participation and impact policies. ‘Going public’ further requires both researchers and forced migrants to engage visibly in a sphere that is often unexpected and less familiar to them. This paper discusses the methodological and ethical challenges and possibilities surrounding joint dissemination, drawing on a case study of public and media co-dissemination that occurred as part of an anti-deportation public campaign. In 2018, the Israeli government initiated a forced deportation plan aimed at deporting refugees to Rwanda. The authors had previously conducted research exploring the journeys of refugees who ‘voluntarily’ departed Israel to Rwanda, revealing that the deportees were pressured to embark on life-threatening journeys, eventually gaining protection in Europe. The findings were collaboratively shared through various activities, such as media interviews, public events, advocacy and cooperation with civil society organisations in Israel and globally. This paper discusses the three main aspects derived from our experiences: power imbalances and divisions of roles, consent as a process, and re-traumatisation and agency. Finally, ethical and practical recommendations for mitigating some of these challenges are offered.

International retirement migration gained popularity with the rise of globalisation and individualisation, but little is known about whom the retirement migrants are compared to retirees who do not migrate. To gain insight into who migrates compared to who stays, we examine a broad set of individual determinants. We collected data for the survey of Dutch Retirement Migrants Abroad, a new dataset based on a probability sample of Dutch nationals with an oversample of retirement migrants (ages 66–90). The survey includes 5225 migrants who migrated from the Netherlands and permanently reside in one of forty different destination countries and 1339 Dutch retirees who reside in the Netherlands. Using discrete-time event-history models, we test the effect of socioeconomic status, social ties, personality traits, and cultural values on the likelihood of migration. Having a partner and a higher occupational status raised the likelihood of migration. Additionally, retirement migrants were more likely to be adventurous, postmaterialist, and identify with counterculture of the sixties, such as being involved in the hippie culture, than non-migrants. Having more social ties in the Netherlands decreased the likelihood of migration. This study highlights the complex interplay of determinants influencing who migrates at older ages and who stays.
