Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Variations among immigrant organizations in the US result not only from differences in the demographic characteristics of the immigrant populations but also from the different patterns of civic and political association in the immigrants' countries of origin. We analyze Colombian, Dominican and Mexican associations and show how the historical relations between the state and civil society and the home country's resulting patterns of civic and political association contribute significantly to the form taken by immigrant organizations in the US.
