Summary
Adding a race and colonialism component, this chapter examines how citizenship has been used as a powerful tool to undermine the colonized and erect an essentially race-based firewall between white Europeans, who are citizens, and colonials who are given lesser status. Investment migration is inseparable from citizenship’s past as a colonial tool of racial domination and subjugation.
