Liew's book is an eloquent exposition of the multitude of mundane, erratic and inconsistent state and non-state actions, and executive, judicial and administrative efforts that undermine citizenship recognition...Ghost Citizens is indispensable reading in a world where rights and benefits continue to require a full and recognized citizenship status and where so many persons of the 'wrong' face and race are positioned by law and practice in a rightless purgatory.--Daiva Stasiulis, Chancellor's Professor Emerita of Sociology, Carleton University
