Neoliberal Citizenship is an original, provocative, and timely intervention. Synthesising interdisciplinary debates across political economy, migration, and security, Mavelli develops a powerful overarching argument about contemporary transformations in the concept and practice of citizenship. His unique emphasis on the emotional - as well as economic - dimensions of citizenship as a biopolitical technique of government is path-breaking. Of equal
significance are the insights he offers into scarcity, the specificity of neoliberal life as the object of biopolitical care, and the multiplicity of regimes of differential inclusion. This book will leave an indelible impression on the field at large and on readers individually; I urge you to read it.
