"This book provides a thoughtful approach to citizenship grounded in both classical and contemporary political science, making it a sound foundation for students becoming familiar with literature on citizenship." –Arthur Sementelli, Florida Atlantic University, USA"Following a concise summary of classical conceptions of citizenship, [Kalu] addresses normative citizenship in the liberal state as an equality-based legal status versus instrumental citizenship, where economic and political status often produce inequality… Kalu presents a dark view of current migration and immigration. Although many become citizens, they do so more for the benefits than because of any common identity, which may eventually undermine national identity and sovereignty." –E. R. Gill, Bradley University (CHOICE Magazine Recommended Review)
