BOOK REVIEW CITIZENSHIP IN TIMES OF TURMOIL?: THEORY, PRACTICE AND POLICY EDITED BY DEVYANI PRABHAT (EDWIN ELGAR) 256 PAGES. PRICE £90.00 ISBN 9781788119207 DJORDJE SREDANOVIC ∗ Citizenship In Times Of Turmoil?: Theory, Practice and Policy, 1 edited by Devyani Prabhat, offers an extensive survey of the legal and social issues linked to citizenship in the United Kingdom, examining citizenship acquisition and loss along with immigration control. The volume discusses the fragility of citizenship when it is endangered by immigration control policies, a fragility highlighted therein through the analysis of citizenship legislation alongside migration policy. The issues explored range from gender inequality in UK citizenship, to the Windrush scandal, Brexit, citizenship deprivation and the ‘Hostile Environment’ policy. 2 The contributing authors are a mix of academics and practitioners, and most are in the field of law, but some come from sociology (Bridget Byrne) or philosophy (Christopher Bertram). The volume brings together technical legal analyses with case studies of those impacted by the law, and most chapters are parsimonious in the use of academic references. The volume is organised into three parts, ‘Making British Citizens’, 3 on the transmission and acquisition of citizenship, ‘Holding British Citizenship and Immigration Controls’, 4 on migration controls linked to the Hostile Environment policies and ‘Losing British Citizenship and Immigration Controls’, 5 on different forms of citizenship loss or non-recognition of citizenship. In the following pages I group the discussion of individual chapters to make some of the themes more explicit, and I deal in turn with citizenship transmission, citizenship acquisition, citizenship loss and immigration controls. ∗ 1 2 3 4 5 FNRS postdoctoral fellow, Group for Research on Ethnic Relations, Migration & Equality, Université Libre de Bruxelles.
