Citizenship is often assumed to be a clear-cut issue-either one has
it or one does not. However, as the contributors to Citizenship in
Question demonstrate, citizenship is not self-evident; it emerges
from often obscure written records and is interpreted through
ambiguous and dynamic laws. In case studies that analyze the legal
barriers to citizenship rights in over twenty countries, the
contributors explore how states use evidentiary requirements to
create and police citizenship, often based on fictions of racial,
ethnic, class, and religious differences. Whether examining the
United States' deportation of its own citizens, the selective use
of DNA tests and secret results in Thailand, or laws that have
stripped entire populations of citizenship, the contributors
emphasize the political, psychological, and personal impact of
citizenship policies. Citizenship in Question incites scholars to
revisit long-standing political theories and debates about
nationality, free movement, and immigration premised on the
assumption of clear demarcations between citizens and noncitizens.
