This insightful book analyzes the political engagement and
marginalization of three of Milan's migrant groups, Filipinos,
Egyptians and Ecuadorians. Bringing together data relating to the
civic and political engagement of individual migrants, and of
migrant organizational networks, the result is an examination of
the consequences of the political exclusion of migrants,
exploring the different ways in which they cope with this
predicament. Such exclusion, the author argues, has three major
impacts. It can transform migrant groups into political
subcultures and engender externally-driven participation, but it
can also lead to radicalization.
