Text of Note

International migration in the early 21^st century reflects a period of rapid globalization and social transformation-where immigrant-sending and receiving societies are undergoing demographic, social, economic and political change. Social scientists seek to understand migration as a process of social transformation by exploring the macro-, micro- and meso-level implications of human socio-spatial mobility. Accordingly, migration researchers reveal the many ways in which organizations help facilitate processes of migration, immigrant incorporation and migrants' transnational engagement with their homelands. However, existing literature suffers from three limitations. First, previous research tends to overemphasize state-centered migration/immigration policies-thereby overlooking the ways in which community characteristics, historical contexts and processes of stigmatization affect immigrant communities and their organizational infrastructures. Second, existing literature on migrant organizations does not analyze how environmental contexts affect the experiences, strategies or actions of migrant organizations. Third, there is little comparative research analyzing how the global "war on terror" affects organizations serving or representing immigrant communities from Muslim-majority countries.
