Estas identidades colectivas descansaban en dos pilares: una organización interna nucleada en torno a la aparición de instituciones que, si bien nunca acogieron a la totalidad de los inmigrantes en un espacio determinado, sí que usufructuaron la interlocución entre sociedad de acogida y grupo inmigrante.
