Recenzje

'This book is an impressive achievement. It is a work of wide-ranging synthesis - drawing on political theory, immigration studies, and political economy - and of penetrating analysis. Swimming against a mighty current, Joppke rejects the term 'populism' as so varied in meaning to be devoid of content and instead explains immigration and citizenship policy with reference to two concepts: nationalism and neo-liberalism. Brexit, Trump, and the far-right are the triumph of an ugly and exclusivist nationalism, and all three are both products and critiques of neo-liberalism. Contemporary immigration and citizenship are anti-nationalist but neo-liberal: qualifications-based, rights-denuded, and increasingly temporary in the former, earned rather than automatically acquired in the latter. Liberalism, both bloodied and bowed, will survive the dual onslaught, but it will never be the same. Analytically powerful and beautifully written, this is the best book on immigration and citizenship available.' Randall Hansen, University of Toronto
