"What is most valuable about "Becoming Imperial Citizens" is Sukanya Banerjee's attention to formulations of citizenship other than that of the normative, rights-bearing citizen of the nation-state. Banerjee examines how differently positioned subjects of the colonial state conceived of themselves as citizens of the British Empire, and the kinds of belonging they enacted despite being denied the benefits of official, full citizenship. She also makes the valuable and vital linkages between imperial citizenship and diasporic belongings, thereby bringing colonial and postcolonial histories into conversations with questions of globalization."--Inderpal Grewal, author of" Transnational America: Feminisms, Diasporas, Neoliberalisms"
