Book review: citizenship in question: evidentiary birthright and statelessness edited by Benjamin N Lawrance and Jacqueline Stevens

In Citizenship in Question: Evidentiary Birthright and Statelessness, editors Benjamin N. Lawrance and Jacqueline Stevens bring together contributors to explore how contemporary citizenship is inseparable from its paper trail. By exploring the documented manifestations through which citizenship is both awarded and denied, this sophisticated and wide-ranging volume contributes to understanding the exclusionary practices and inequalities of current citizenship regimes around the world, finds Kalathmika Natarajan.
