He reviews the data to find whether traditional models of voting participation can account for the political behavior of immigrants, and whether new factors relating to adaptation add to our theoretical understanding of voter turnout. He also closely considers other forms of political participation beside voting and examines how factors within immigrant communities can be at play and what research is needed to move from the theoretical to the practical in political forecasting.
