Uncertainty is central to the governance of citizenship, but in
ways that erase, even deny, this uncertainty. This book
investigates uncertain citizenship from the unique vantage point of
'citizenisation': twenty-first-century integration and
naturalisation measures that make and unmake citizens and migrants,
while indefinitely holding many applicants for citizenship in what
Fortier calls the 'waiting room of citizenship'. Fortier's
distinctive theory of citizenisation foregrounds how the full
achievement of citizenship is a promise that is always deferred: if
migrants and citizens are continuously citizenised, so too are they
migratised. Citizenisation and migratisation are intimately linked
within the structures of racial governmentality that enables the
citizenship of racially minoritised citizens to be questioned and
that casts them as perpetual migrants. Drawing on multi-sited
fieldwork with migrants applying for citizenship or settlement and
with intermediaries of the state tasked with implementing
citizenisation measures and policies, Fortier brings life to the
waiting room of citizenship, giving rich empirical backing to her
original theoretical claims. Scrutinising life in the waiting room
enables Fortier to analyse how citizenship takes place, takes time
and takes hold in ways that conform, exceed, and confound frames of
reference laid out in both citizenisation policies and
taken-for-granted understandings of 'the citizen' and 'the
migrant'. Uncertain Citizenship's nuanced account of the social and
institutional function of citizenisation and migratisation offers
its readers a grasp of the array of racial inequalities that
citizenisation produces and reproduces, while providing theoretical
and empirical tools to address these inequalities. -- .
