However, rather than focusing on the typical subjects of removal - refugees, the undocumented, and irregular migrants - \u003ci\u003eIrregular Citizenship, Immigration, and Deportation \u003c\/i\u003elooks at the ways that citizens get caught up in the deportation apparatus and must struggle to remain in or return to their country of citizenship. The transformation of 'regular' citizens into deportable 'irregular' citizens involves the removal of the rights, duties, and obligations of citizenship. This includes unmaking citizenship through official revocation or denationalization, as well as through informal, extra-legal, and unofficial means. The book features stories about struggles over removal and return, deportation and repatriation, rescue and abandonment. The book features eleven 'acts of citizenship' that occur in the context of deportation and anti-deportation, arguing that these struggles for rights, recognition, and return are fundamentally struggles over political subjectivity - of citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of citizenship, migration and security studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Nyers is University Scholar and Associate Professor of the Politics of Citizenship and Intercultural Relations in the Department of Political Science, McMaster University.
