Brubaker brilliantly integrates institutional and cultural analysis. His focus on immigrants and citizenship in France and Germany makes a compelling case for understanding modern national states not only as organizations but also as associations of members. -- Theda Skocpol, Harvard University
Rogers Brubaker is Professor of Sociology and UCLA Foundation Chair at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Learned, shrewd, and demanding. * Foreign Affairs *
[A] concise and elegant comparison of the national identities of
France and Germany, and the citizenship policies that flow from
them... Brubaker's excellent study is the best available guide to
the intellectual background of the current crisis in German
self-identity. -- Michael Ignatieff * New Republic *
Brubaker's extremely timely book traces the history of
citizenship-legal status, heartfelt identity-in France and Germany.
Each nation had, and still has, a very different idea of
citizenship... Brubaker is erudite and clear, and keeps an acutely
open mind-no easy thing in these murky waters. * Village Voice
