Review:

Extending the meaning of citizenship well beyond its primary significance as a legal status, this ambitious work examines the diverse ways in which contemporary societies incorporate immigrants as new members, provides a critical discussion of their shortcomings in relation to democratic ideals, and suggests how matters might be improved in the face of ongoing migratory realities. --Aristide R. Zolberg, International Migration Review.
instructive and refreshing.
