The article highlights the topics discussed in the September 2006 issue of the journal "American Behavioral Scientist." Some authors argue that strategies of state surveillance shape the construction of migrant identities in France. The other author traces ethnic transformation since the early 20th century, as the population shifted during the course of three generations from Italian to a mix of Italian, Latino and African American. Another paper deals with questions of immigration status and identity with relevance to questions of political belonging and cultural belonging to differentiate between the rights/responsibilities and the identificational dimensions of citizenship.
