Overview

This edited collection explores citizenship in a transnational perspective, with a focus on Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. It adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and offers historical, legal, political, and sociological perspectives. The two overarching themes of the book are ethnicity and Indigeneity. The contributions in the collection come from widely respected international scholars who approach the subject of citizenship from a range of perspectives: some arguing for a post-citizenship world, others questioning the very concept itself, or its application to Indigenous nations.

Reviews

This is an excellent edited book. By exploring the issue of citizenship in three settler states through the dual lenses of ethnicity and indigeneity, it makes a significant contribution to the literature. (Luc Turgeon, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 32 (1-2), 2019) Citizenship in Transnational Perspective is a meticulously edited collection that presents thought-provoking and most innovative challenges to citizenship and Indigenous studies. Its comparative approach in particular is of great value for showing how much citizenship regimes are both nationalized and, at the same time, influenced by wider, transnational mechanisms. (Oliver Haag, Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies, Vol. 06 (2), October, 2018)
