“[I]nteresting and enlightening reading. . . . [A] stimulating book which makes a valuable addition to the growing literature in the field.” - Barbara Marshall, Journal of Refugee Studies
“[This book] surely could not have come at a more appropriate time given the current debates of citizenship in Germany, the EU, and elsewhere, as well as the strong interest in the expansion of global human rights norms across the boundaries of national states in the social sciences as well as in politics. The book will prove extremely interesting and challenging reading for graduate classes in political theory and experts in the field in particular.” - Antje Wiener, International Migration Review
“Barbieri has written a penetrating and extraordinarily rich analysis of the ethics of maintaining a sizeable population of non-citizens in a modern nation-state.” - Gregg Kvistad, Patterns of Prejudice
“Barbieri's book explores theoretical issues about citizenship and political community in the context of a specific case: long-term resident aliens in Germany. Thus it establishes fruitful links between comparative politics and political theory and should be of interest to scholars from both fields. The work makes a significant contribution to an important debate whose theoretical and political salience is likely to increase over the next several years.—Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto
“This is applied ethics at its best! Barbieri’s concrete practical recommendations are based on an illuminating discussion of the moral and political theory and the relevant empirical data concerning the status of long-term resident aliens in Germany.”—James P. Sterba, Notre Dame University
