Christians from Middle Eastern European nations have been less inclined than Muslims to identify with Arab nationalist causes, but a growth of Arab identity has been observed among Middle Eastern Christian immigrants in recent years. Recent immigrants are more likely to identify with Arab nationalism than immigrants who have been in the United States for some time. This paper analyzes religious and nationalist identity in a Chaldean Iraqi community in Detroit, Michigan. It rejects the notion that the earlier immigrants' nationalist sentiments have been “lost” through assimilation, and suggests that the increased nationalist identity of recent immigrants is due in part to an increase in urbanism and bureaucratic participation in the modern Middle East
