This book explores the ways in which individuals and groups
negotiate the meaning and rights associated with their citizenship
or lack thereof within the context of diverse interpretations of
"place." Place might be a specific location as in the place where a
person is able to work, or live, or it may be more metaphorical, as
in the spaces created to organize protest online. Place may even be
defined by its absence or distance, as is the case with refugees
and stateless individuals. Chapters in the first half of the book
examine citizenship and place within the city. The second half
examines citizenship and place beyond the city, beyond the nation,
and in the case of statelessness, even beyond citizenship. The
volume ends with a chapter that asserts that all citizenship is
local. Citizenship, when examined from the ground up within the
context of place, can capture conflicts and negotiations around
belonging and rights that include those who are refugees, those who
are stateless, and those whose very presence and demand for rights
defy normative or state-driven definitions of who has the right to
claim rights based on citizenship. This book seeks to help the
reader push traditional boundaries and critically examine notions
of citizenship in these spaces.
