Chapter 1. Theorizing Statelessness and Stateless Diasporas -- Chapter 2. The Nation-State Crafting of Majorities and Minorities -- Chapter 3. Defining, Embracing and Challenging (State)lessness -- Chapter 4. Politics of Home and 'Statesickness': Perils and Promises -- Chapter 5. Marked Groups and Hierarchies of Citizenship in Authoritarian and Liberal Democratic States -- Chapter 6. The Weight of Assimilation and the Confines of Resistance in Diaspora -- Chapter 7. Critique and Dissent as a Transnational Obligation: Diasporic Appraisals of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq -- Chapter 8. Seeing as the Stateless in a World of Nation-States.

This book argues that citizenship is an inadequate solution to the problem of statelessness based on a critical investigation of the lived experiences of Kurdish and Palestinian diasporas in western Europe. It examines how statelessness affects identity formations, homelessness, belonging, non-belonging, otherness, voices, status, (non)recognition, (dis)respect, (in)visibility and presence in the uneven world of nation-states. It also demonstrates that the undoing of non-sovereign identities' subjection to structural subalternization and everyday inferiorization requires rights in excess of the mere acquisition of juridical citizenship, which tends to assume national sameness. That assumption in turn involves sovereign practices of denial and assimilation of ethnic alterity. The book therefore highlights the necessity of de-ethnicizing and decolonizing unitary nation-states that are based on the politico-cultural supremacy of a single, "core" ethnicity as the sovereign legislator of the rules and regimes of national belonging and un-belonging. It therefore broaches questions of "majority" and "minority," mobility, nationalism, home-making, equality, difference and universalism in the context of the nation-state and illustrates how stateless peoples such as Kurds and Palestinians endure and challenge their subordinate position in a hierarchical (geo-)political order and how in so doing remain bound by political otherness. Barzoo Eliassi is an Associate Professor at the Department of Social Work at Linnaeus University, Sweden.
