Vera-Larrucea, Constanza, 2013. Citizenship by Citizens: First generation nationals with Turkish ancestry on lived citizenship in Paris and Stockholm. Stockholm Studies in Politics 150 (original) (raw)

The thesis by Constanza Vera-Larrucea examines the notion of citizenship focusing on individuals of Turkish ancestry in Paris and Stockholm. It critiques existing theories on citizenship for their abstraction and lack of empirical consideration of citizens' lived experiences. Using a mixed-methods approach, it explores how these first-generation citizens perceive and navigate their identities within contexts marked by migration and integration challenges. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on citizenship and integration, especially in relation to dual citizenship, presenting valuable insights into the dynamics of ethnicity, belonging, and social opportunity.
