"Carolina Ivanescu has masterfully analyzed how, in three countries, different combinations of citizenship, secularity, and religion emerge from and then reshape politics. Her attention to local politics of citizenship is particularly important, as is her deft handling of the theoretical debates." - John R. Bowen, Washington University in St. Louis, USA
