The co-editors Ayşe Çağlar, Sabyasachi Basu Ray Chaudhury, and Ranabir Samaddar discussed their book Sites of Statelessness: Laws, Cities, Seas (SUNY Press, 2024) in conversation with Paolo Novak and Yuri Kazepov. The discussion was moderated by Ayşe Çağlar.
Statelessness is incessantly produced in seas, cities, and law. Building around the postcolonial experiences of this statelessness, the book examines the entanglements of citizenship policies and practices with the spread of statelessness in contemporary times, something that defies any kind of citizen/stateless binary.
