“Citizenship has emerged as one of the crucial issues in
sociology, uniting such topics as globalization, immigration,
multiculturalism and ethnic conflict, the future of the welfare
state, and the meaning of contemporary national politics. Kivisto
and Faist provide a lively introduction and show why the question
of citizenship has come to supplant many of the traditional
concerns of both the Left and Right.”

“An impressive achievement. A comprehensive but concise
account of the field of citizenship studies, delivering a decisive
challenge to re-thinking citizenship.”
Bryan S. Turner, National University of Singapore
“Citizenship should be a central concern for sociology.
Kivisto and Faist offer a concise and clear review of conceptual
frameworks, historical trends, the current situation and future
directions, which will be helpful to students and teachers
alike.”
Craig Calhoun, New York University
“This work would be a useful primer for a class in
political sociology or for any class that deals with
‘citizenship.’” Choice
