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.
