Abstract
The first edition of this collection was based on an international symposium on “Citizenship in a Transnational Perspective,” co-convened by Professor Janine Brodie and Dr. Jatinder Mann, that was held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on 6–7 July 2016. This second, revised edition demonstrates the continued salience of exploring citizenship in a transnational perspective, as the chapters which all look at citizenship in terms of ethnicity and Indigeneity show that these themes or ideas very much cross national borders, which is the essence of a transnational approach. The contributors to this collection approach the subject from a range of disciplinary perspectives: historical, legal, political, and sociological. Therefore, this book makes an important and unique contribution to the existing literature through its transnational and multidisciplinary perspectives. This second, revised edition builds on the strength of the first edition (some chapters have been revised and updated) but also includes several new chapters by predominantly early career or mid-career scholars who demonstrate the cutting-edge research in the field.

These are nations primarily in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australasia or Oceania, which were colonised by European Imperial powers, their settlers dispossessing the Indigenous nations already present in those territories. The effects of this extremely destructive process are still felt to this day. For the purposes of this edited collection, the settler societies that will be focused on are Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand. All three of these countries subsequently received a diverse immigration intake over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which transformed their populations.

Jatinder Mann, Redefining Citizenship in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand (New York: Peter Lang Publishing, 2019) published since the first edition of this collection does actually do this. And the monograph also adopts an interdisciplinary approach (history and politics in regard to subject and politics and law in terms of analysis). But unlike this edited collection, it focuses on the period of the 1950s-1970s.

The referendum campaign currently underway in Australia for an “Indigenous Voice to Parliament” (this was one of the major calls of the Uluru Statement from the Heart—a petition by a constitutional convention which brought together over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders) is considered by its supporters as the first step on the journey of the negotiation of an actual treaty between the settler colonial state in Australia and the First Nations of the territory that is now known as Australia. https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp1617/Quick_Guides/UluruStatement.
