Drawing on rich oral histories from over two hundred in-depth
interviews in West Africa, Europe, and North America, Robtel Neajai
Pailey examines socio-economic change in Liberia, Africa's first
black republic, through the prism of citizenship. Marking how
historical policy changes on citizenship and contemporary public
discourse on dual citizenship have impacted development policy and
practice, she reveals that as Liberia transformed from a country of
immigration to one of emigration, so too did the nature of
citizenship, thus influencing claims for and against dual
citizenship. In this engaging contribution to scholarly and policy
debates about citizenship as a continuum of inclusion and
exclusion, and development as a process of both amelioration and
degeneration, Pailey develops a new model for conceptualising
citizenship within the context of crisis-affected states. In doing
so, she offers a postcolonial critique of the neoliberal framing of
diasporas and donors as the panacea to post-war reconstruction.
