Citizenship in Transnational Perspective

Jatinder Mann is a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Reading.

“It makes a valuable contribution by offering a historical, comparative account of how settler societies have approached citizenship, First Nations notions of citizenship, and a nuanced analysis of themes including Indigeneity and ethnicity, identity, belonging, inclusion/exclusion, and power/agency. This book will be of interest to readers seeking an authoritative account of the relationship between the individual and the state, and the latest analysis in citizenship studies.” (Miranda Booth, JACANZS, Vol, 4. August, 2024)
