Making Citizens [PDF ebook] 
Public Rituals and Personal Journeys to Citizenship

In an increasingly mobile world with mounting concerns about the states’ control of borders and migration, passports and citizenship rights matter more than ever. This book asks what citizenship ceremonies can tell us about how citizenship is understood through empirical research in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland.
