Preferred term

immigrant communities  

Definition

  • People have always migrated in search of a better life, fleeing war, famine, or persecution, or simply looking for new experiences. Although not a new phenomenon, it is considered that migratory movements have intensified in the 20th century due to globalization, the increased interconnectedness between cultures, economic networks, and political organizations that has erased the boundaries between the local and the global.
