"The view that citizenship is a homogeneous, unitary, and singular status is coming to be challenged, but alternative analyses of multilevel citizenship have remained limited. Here, finally, is a collection of first-rate essays that explore nested and overlapping citizenship constellations across a wide range of historical and geographic contexts." (Rainer Bauböck, European University Institute) "Multilevel Citizenship presents the best new critical studies of citizenship that are deconstructing the homogeneous and coherent image of the figure of both the nation and the citizen. From indigenous peoples to previously Ottoman Egyptians and from Mexican America to Bosnia and Herzegovina, it illustrates-in vivid and crisp writing-how the sites and scales of citizenship have always been multilevel, perhaps more so in the era of accelerated migrations and intensified communications." (Engin Isin, The Open University) "An exceptionally strong volume, well conceived and accessible. Multilevel Citizenship will appeal to citizenship scholars by introducing novel contexts in which to disaggregate the institution." (Peter Spiro, Beasley School of Law, Temple University)
