Ascriptive Organizational Stigma and the Constraining of Pakistani Immigrant Organizations

Abstract: Existing research on the incorporation of immigrants generally celebrates immigrant organizations (IOs) as essential conduits for political mobilization, civic integration, and transnational engagement. Less attention, however, has been given to the external contexts or conditions that can constrain IOs. In this article, I introduce the concept of ascriptive organizational stigma (AOS) and examine how domestic and geopolitical contexts contribute to the stigmatization and constraining of Pakistani immigrant or… Show more

“…Yet very few Syrians or Somalis are unauthorized, as most come to the United States as refugees (Zong 2016). Thus, we speculate that this reaction may be driven by Islamophobia and fear of terrorism (Chaudhary 2018; Maghbouleh 2017). This finding also underscores one potential consequence of the social construction of illegality—increased law enforcement scrutiny of some legally-present immigrants.…”

“…The socially illegal category also includes Middle Eastern refugees who, despite their status as legal refugees, fulfill ethno-religious stereotypes (Chaudhary 2018).

“…Ascriptive characteristics such as race, ethnicity, and gender are status markers that often correspond with social categories that can be stigmatized across numerous contexts of modern life (Brown and Jones 2015;Chaudhary 2021;Golash-Boza 2016;Mayhew 1968). Cultural objects follow life courses where their symbolic meanings may vary across processes of contexts of creation, production, consumption, and reception (Griswold et al 2013;McDonnell 2010).…”

“…At times also known as immigrant organisations in migration scholarship, migrant organisations are established and led by migrants to serve their communities, both in the country of origin and the country of destination ( Chaudhary 2020 ). Extant literature examined the role migrant organisations (in a variety of forms) play in integration, civic and political engagement and mobilisation, as well as forging transnational ties between the heritage and host countries ( Ramakrishnan and Bloemraad 2008 ; De Graauw 2016 ; Chaudhary 2020 ). However, scant attention has been paid to how migrant educational organisations serve their communities beyond the scope of teaching.…”
