Mobile Citizenship addresses the crucial question of how mobility
reconfigures citizenship. Engaging with debates on transnationalism,
citizenship, and lifestyle migration, the book draws on ethnographic
research and interview material collected among retired lifestyle
migrants moving south from Germany to Turkey to explore the practices
and narratives of these privileged migrants. Revealing the ways in
which these migrants relate to their old homes and to their new
places, the author examines the social, political, and spatial
dimensions of citizenship and belonging and argues that citizenship is
key to understanding the privileges of transnational lifestyles. By
taking up discussions emanating from studies on other privileged
lifestyle migrations—around social welfare and well-being, social
participation, and affective belonging, as well as class and
racialized privileges—the book exposes particular comparative value
and showcases similarities and differences across this emerging type
of migration. Mobile Citizenship thus shows how citizenship allows for
mobility, resources, and privilege yet is also replete with
limitations and ambivalences. The book brings together perspectives on
citizenship, space, and privilege and will appeal to social scientists
with interests in lifestyle migration and citizenship and their
interconnections with global and social inequalities.
