'Through its conceptually innovative focus on EU citizenship and civil rights, this important contribution reframes and refreshes some enduring questions around the protection of rights equal treatment as well as bringing significant new themes, notably the role of civil society, more to the centre of current debates. The collection's overarching exploration of a ''European civil rights mo(ve)ment'' has never seemed more necessary.'--Niamh Nic Shuibhne, The University of Edinburgh, UK
