Outsiders No More? brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider pathways by which immigrants may be incorporated into the political processes of western democracies. At a time when immigrants are increasingly significant political actors in many democratic polities, this volume makes a timely and valuable intervention by pushing researchers to articulate causal dynamics, provide clear definitions and measurable concepts, and develop testable hypotheses. By including historians, sociologists, and political scientists, by ranging across North America and Western Europe, by addressing successful and failed incorporative efforts, this handbook offers guides for anyone seeking to develop a dynamic, unified, and supple model of immigrant political incorporation.

Industry Reviews

"This analytically incisive collection by a superb array of scholars provides an indispensable guide to one of the most fundamental social processes of our time. Anyone interested in the political inclusion of newcomers will profit from this state of the art volume."-Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University "Written by leading European and American scholars, Outsiders No More? provides the most up-to-date account of how the political incorporation of immigrants does and does not work across borders. A very timely contribution."-Patrick Weil, Professor, Centre d'Histoire Sociale du XXe siècle, Université Paris I - Panthéon-Sorbonne "How to explain the various routes to immigrant political incorporation? What does the study of immigrant political incorporation teach us about the nature and scope of politics? Top social and political scientists deal with these topical issues in this wonderful collective volume combining theoretical sophistication and empirical insights. Highly inspiring!"-Marco Martiniello, Director, Centre d'Etudes de l'Ethnicité et des Migrations (CEDEM) "In this volume, experts on immigration in North America and Europe examine the very pressing and complicated issue of immigrant political incorporation. It explores what exactly the concept of political incorporation means; illustrates how patterns of incorporation are fundamentally shaped by the social, economic, cultural, and political contexts in which immigration occurs; and provides frameworks that can be used to study political incorporation in various settings. For immigration scholars across disciplines, this book will become an indispensable resource."-Deborah J. Schildkraut, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Tufts University
