Review Quotes: "Inconvenient Strangers expands and stretches scholarship on citizenship significantly, providing important comparative arguments about power, oppression, and (post)colonialism. It develops a nuanced vocabulary that challenges tired approaches to recognition, identification, solidarity, and witnessing and offers a new orientation to existing understandings of nation, diaspora, and colonialism. Its promise is immense." --Arabella Lyon
