'This book fills a significant gap in the literature on social work practice and will be greatly appreciated by social workers who work with immigrant and indigenous groups, asylum seekers, migrant workers, and exchange students as well as other marginalized people whose rights of citizenship are denied for political reasons. In the space of 24 succinct and informative chapters, Reconfiguring Citizenship expands our understanding of citizenship considerably and challenges our taken-for-granted assumptions concerning the rights of native-born and naturalized versus foreign residents of a country.'
