Tackling head on one of the most challenging, perplexing, and yet essential political relationships of our time, this collection is a must-read for those of us--political scientists, philosophers, sociologists, historians, lawyers--who work with, around and even against the aporetic connection between human rights and citizenship. Chris McCorkindale, University of Strathclyde Law School and co-editor, Hannah Arendt and the Law
