The securitisation of migration and migrant integration in North America and Western Europe has exacerbated tensions and contradictions in the lived experienced of citizenship of these populations. On the one hand, the dominant trend in integration policies in the last twenty years has been towards new pressures to conform to national values and to prove loyalty to host nations. On the other hand, it is precisely those pressures combined with the association of migration and ethnic diversity in policy and media and political discourse with petty criminality, urban disorder, and the risk of terrorism, that has made it increasingly difficult for them to exercise fully and freely their citizenship rights when their migration and nationality status grants them such rights. Mounting evidence on Muslims in Europe, for instance, suggests that the stigmatisation of Muslims often  fosters a sense of alienation and withdrawal from political participation, and in many cases encourages the rise of Islam understood as a form of group identity as alienated individuals seek a sense of belonging in the face of a hostile social and political environment. Using a unique combination of surveys and qualitative case studies, participants in this panel explore the ways these tensions play out in a variety of migrant and minority communities in the United States and the United Kingdom both at the level of individual experiences of citizenship and of collective organisation and mobilisation.
