| Sommario/riassunto: | In this groundbreaking work, Kamal Sadiq reveals that most of the world's undocumented immigrants are not migrating directly to the US, but to countries in the vast developing world, where they are able to obtain citizenship papers fairly easily. Sadiq introduces "documentary citizenship" to explain how paperwork--often falsely obtained--confers citizenship on undocumented immigrants. Across the globe, there are literally tens of millions of such undocumented immigrants who have assumed the guise of "citizens." Who, then, is really a citizen? And what does citizenship mean for most of the world's peoples? Rendered in vivid detail, Paper Citizens not only shows how undocumented immigrants acquire false papers, but also sheds light on the consequences this will have for global security in the post 9/11 world--adapted from Google Books |
