Reviews
'At the Edges of Citizenship is a vivid and incisive ethnography that powerfully exposes the incoherent margins of the partition between citizen and non-citizen . Foregrounding the instabilities between these juridical statuses and the paradoxical constructions of insiders and outsiders , Kate Hepworth reveals the complexity and contradictions of discrepant experiences of migrant illegality and deportability in Italy alongside the vulnerability of Europe's most marginalized citizens to forcible eviction and deportation. This remarkably creative and insightful study is as subtle as a work of social theory as it is unforgettable as a sensitive depiction of the lived conditions of intimate foreigners , respectable illegals , and abject citizens.' Nicholas De Genova, King's College London, UK

Nicholas De Genova, King's College London, UK 'In this important book, Hepworth paints a lively ethnographic portrait of sites occupied by migrant, non-citizen, nomad. Her canvas is the contemporary urban Italian landscape where migrant workers live out securitization and exclusion and survive, reconfiguring meanings and practices of citizenship. Hepworth understands the complexity of human relations and the depth and uncertainty required for meaningful social analysis.' Alison Mountz, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
