2020 Statelessness & Citizenship Review 2(2) and Roma in former Yugoslav states. 20 All these cases of statelessness have their origins in crucial moments when a new definition of ‘people’ has become dominant in different contexts. Among the many powerful moments included in Shaw’s book, I was particularly struck by her re-centring of certain debates around citizenship. She shows that the Windrush scandal in the United Kingdom should be discussed in the domain of citizenship, rather than migration studies. 21 Presenting people from the Windrush generation primarily as migrants masks the real context of how British citizenship transformed from a concept that initially included the subject/citizen dichotomy. 22 Similarly, this principle is discussed in regards to the cases of Thoms and Love v the Commonwealth of Australia, where the question properly revolved around citizenship rather than migration. 23 Such a shift is extremely important for the future of citizenship studies. It is too often that marginalised minorities are excluded from the definition of ‘the people’: their position is not primarily discussed as one of citizens but rather as minorities or, in many cases, migrants. With the central concept of the constitutional citizen and its interrelation with the definition of people in turbulent times, Shaw’s incredible book not only presented empirically rich material from a vast variety of contexts, but also developed a powerful analytical apparatus that will keep on inspiring many future generations of citizenship scholars (be they lawyers, political scientists, sociologist or historians) in their analysis of citizenship amidst the unsettled conditions we have been witnessing since 2020. Nonetheless, the concept of constitutional citizens can prove to be a powerful tool used in international courts, such as the ECtHR and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, especially when considering the position of marginalised minorities and indigenous peoples. 20 21 22 23 Julija Sardelić, ‘Romani Minorities and Uneven Citizenship Access in the Post-Yugoslav Space’ (2015) 14(2) Ethnopolitics 159.
