Title

Citizenship and Those Who Leave : The Politics of Emigration and Expatriation

Description

English translation of "Citoyenneté et émigration: Les politiques du départ" (Éditions de l'École des hautes études en Sciences sociales, 2006). Collection of essays on migration, expatriation, and the perpetuation of national identities abroad. The historical roles played by governments in the emigrations of their peoples. Considerations of the economic and "political perceptions of departure" (2). From the editors: "Emigration, like immigration, needs to be understood at the intersection of structural and individual agency" (8). From University of Illinois Press: "Exit, like entry, has helped define citizenship over the past two centuries, yet little attention has been given to the politics of emigration. How have countries impeded or facilitated people leaving? How have they perceived and regulated those who leave? What relations do they seek to maintain with their citizens abroad and why? 'Citizenship and Those Who Leave' reverses the immigration perspective to examine how nations define themselves not just through entry but through exit as well." Translation of French original (2006).

Abstract Note

Collection of essays on emigration, expatriation, and the perpetuation of national identities abroad. Translation of French original (2006). From University of Illinois Press: "Exodus and National Identity: Exit, like entry, has helped define citizenship over the past two centuries, yet little attention has been given to the politics of emigration. How have countries impeded or facilitated people leaving? How have they perceived and regulated those who leave? What relations do they seek to maintain with their citizens abroad and why? 'Citizenship and Those Who Leave' reverses the immigration perspective to examine how nations define themselves not just through entry but through exit as well."
