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.

Exploring the processes of racialization, class and gender, this book examines how these processes play out in the everyday lives of white women living in London with young children. It analyzes the flexibility of racialised discourse in everyday life, while arguing for a radical deconstruction of the notions of race these discourses create.
