However, as the contributors to Citizenship in Question demonstrate, citizenship is not self-evident; it emerges from often obscure written records and is interpreted through ambiguous and dynamic laws. In case studies that analyze the legal barriers to citizenship rights in over twenty countries, the contributors explore how states use evidentiary requirements to create and police citizenship, often based on fictions of racial, ethnic, class, and religious differences. Whether examining the United States' deportation of its own citizens, the selective use of DNA tests and secret results in Thailand, or laws that have stripped entire populations of citizenship, the contributors emphasize the political, psychological, and personal impact of citizenship policies. 606 $aLaw / Emigration & Immigration$2bisacsh 606 $aLaw 615 7$aLaw / Emigration & Immigration 615 0$aLaw. 702 $aLawrance$b Benjamin N 702 $aStevens$b Jacqueline 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831864103321 996 $aCitizenship in question$92040000 997 $aUNINA
