Jan Plamper

An extraordinarily important contribution to scholarship that illuminates some of the key issues of twentieth-century citizenship, nationalism, and transnational history.

Sebastian Conrad

A fascinating, original, well-researched, and persuasively argued work that places the phenomenon of migration in the context of the end of WWII, the Cold War, and the post-1989 world, and links it to the history of forms of migration that since the early twentieth century sought to disentangle societies in order to create homogenous nation-states.
