Modeling migrant adaptation: Coping with social strain, assimilation, and non-integration
This article adapts Robert Merton's theory of coping with social strain to revisit the main paradigms in the literature of migrant adaptation. Intersecting this literature with Merton's theory of coping with social strain and the ideas of emergence and resistance, the authors develop five new ideal types of migrant adaptation: (1) migrant conformity through straight-line assimilation; (2) migrant ritualism through multidirectional assimilation; (…
Migrants' social positioning and inequalities: The intersections of capital, locations, and aspirations
This special set of articles promotes new studies and conceptualizations of migrants' social positioning in the contexts that they form by living in new locations, and/or by being simultaneously connected to several locations. In different ways, the contributors explain the migrants' social positioning as consisting of the intersections of the migrants' various forms of capital, the characteristics of the different locations and of the social act…

This article is an analysis of the attempts of Baghdadi Jewish traders in Hong Kong in the second half of the nineteenth century to construct and convert cultural, social and economic capital within and between the transregional networks of the Baghdadi diaspora, the Jewish diaspora and the British colonial elite. The analysis of the multiple and multi-directional intersections between the cultural, social and economic characteristics of the thre…
Analysing non-doctrinal socialization: Re-assessing the role of cognition to account for social cohesion in the Religious Society of Friends1
To incorporate newcomers into membership, a group employs socialization strategies to transform the characteristics of the newcomers, so that it can admit them with the confidence that their behaviour will not endanger group unity. Analyses of socialization emphasize that novices' interiorization of an institutional definition of group behaviour is a necessary condition to ensure successful socialization. The contemporary Religious Society of Fri…
Becoming different while becoming the same: Re-territorializing Islamic identities with multi-ethnic practices in Hong Kong
The established consensus in sociology is to explain the transformations of the ethnic identities of migrants through processes by which the migrants combine features they share with co-ethnics with characteristics they adopt from other groups of residents. This conceptualization, however, works on the assumption that it is the differences and contradictions between the elements in the ethnic identities of the migrants, and the characteristics of…
Constructing Globalized Ethnicity: Migrants from India in Hong Kong
This article explores the relationship between the ethnic identities of migrants from India in Hong Kong and their attempts to attain economic and social goals. It argues that Indians did not just adopt the characteristics of the British and Chinese majorities who controlled important access to resources. Rather, Indians sought to negotiate their positions in networks with majorities through constructing ethnic identities as cultural capital comb…
