Abstract

Abstract : This article calls for the study of new immigrant destinations in a global context. Although the term "new immigrant destinations" has been primarily associated with the U.S., migration scholars of other regions and countries are examining new or emerging immigrant destinations and the implications of immigrant settlement in places that heretofore have had no notable foreign‐born populations. This article argues that expanding the frame of reference for the study of new immigrant destinations provides greater insight into the ways that new geographies of immigrant settlement around the world are re‐shaping dominant understandings of contemporary migration processes.
