Migrants create and adjust ties to people and places over time through a dynamic process of multi-location embedding. Interested in the outcomes of civic and electoral participation, Victoria Finn transplants the existent sociological concept of ‘embedding’ to the political realm. Holding multi-territorial rights, international migrants are potential actors in two polities, in which they embed, maintain, or disembed their ties. ‘Political embedding’ supports conducting empirical agendas, offers an alternative approach to lop-sided studies focused on either immigrants or emigrants, and aims to replace concepts such as ‘assimilation’. Victoria Finn argues that the political embedding process better explains participation than the existent migrant resocialization theories of exposure, transferability, and resistance. Her evidence comes from South America, through 71 interviews with migrants living in Ecuador who were born and raised in Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Peru, or Venezuela. Political embedding brings migrants to the center stage by listening to individuals’ voices about their own connections, across time and space, and how these affect political participation outcomes.
