Loss and Liquid Citizenship in Europe offers a means of understanding how experiences of loss intersect with discourses of migration and citizenship, to affect feelings of belonging with respect to host communities and newcomers. Adopting a de-colonial and intersectional perspective, it examines the condition of post-migration, regarding it as a space of social, cultural, and political transformation. In doing so, it questions the dominant binary in terms of both legal distinctions and socio-cultural distinctions between settled majorities and migrating minorities. Confronted with the spread of a neo-populist, far-right political agenda across the world, this book provides new insights into ways in which we might re-conceptualise a vision of social inclusion for both majorities and minorities on the move. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences with interests in migration and diaspora, citizenship and belonging.
Adopting a decolonial and intersectional perspective, this book examines the post-migration condition, offering a new means of understanding the ways in which discourses of migration and citizenship intersect with experiences of loss, impacting upon feelings of belonging with respect to host communities and newcomers.
