In this article, the authors contribute to the ongoing discussions of integration by articulating a theoretical framework that attends to the complex and dynamic relationship between immigrant and non-immigrant populations as they interact within and with the spaces that have come to known as ―new destinations.‖ The proposal is based on the re-conceptualization of integration that, first, defines it as necessarily distinct from assimilation, second, engages and is informed by an analysis of space as dynamic, contested, and racialized and third, focuses on re-spatialization as an opportunity for re-politicization. The authors ‗posit that integration must involve substantive inclusion of both immigrant and non-immigrant populations (in their heterogeneity) in the public sphere.
