ABSTRACT
Why do ethnic diasporas in the United States differ in their readiness for political mobilization
on behalf of homeland interests? Using three Middle Eastern heritage groups in the United
States, this study develops a tiered model of politicized ethnic identity emphasizing both
individual-level traits and group/collective properties. Empirical analysis confirms that
individuals differ in their readiness for mobilization based on the strength of ties to the ethnic
community and, net of such differences, each group varies based on the contexts of exit and
reception it faced at the time of immigration.
Prepared for delivery at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association,
August 30th-September 2nd, 2007
