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.
As immigrants settle in new places, they are faced with endless uncertainties that prevent them from feeling that they belong. From language barriers, to differing social norms, to legal boundaries separating them from established residents, they are constantly navigating shifting and contradictory expectations both to assimilate to their new culture and to honor their native one. In A Place to Call Home, Ernesto Castañeda offers a uniquely comparative portrait of immigrant expectations and experiences. Drawing on fourteen years of ethnographic observation and hundreds of interviews with documented and undocumented immigrants and their children, Castañeda sets out to determine how different locations can aid or disrupt the process of immigrant integration. Focusing on New York City, Paris, and Barcelona—immigration hubs in their respective countries—he compares the experiences of both Latino and North African migrants, and finds that subjective understandings, local contexts, national and regional history, and religious institutions are all factors that profoundly impact the personal journey to belonging.

Ernesto Castañeda is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the American University in Washington, DC.
