Constitutions, Citizenship and the Shadow of Statelessness its own conceptual and empirical limits. 47 While there is certainly a healthy dose of realism in both these observations, for those who are stateless, what constitutional citizenship and citizenship more broadly do at least offer is a chance to emerge from the shadows.

Shaw’s book offers much food for thought for such endeavours. 47 Johanna Hase, ‘The Constitutional Citizen in Narratives of Peoplehood’ (2020) 2(2) Statelessness & Citizenship Review 372, 375. 383
