Precarity and Belonging: Labor, Migration, and Noncitizenship

Professor and Chair Catherine S. Ramírez and Associate Professor Sylvanna M. Falcón co-edited Precarity and Belonging: Labor, Migration, and Noncitizenship, a 2021 publication for Rutgers University Press. The book examines how the movement of people and their incorporation, marginalization, and exclusion—under epochal conditions of labor and social precarity affecting both citizens and noncitizens—have challenged older notions of citizenship and alienage. This collection brings mobility, precarity, and citizenship together to explore the points of contact and friction and, thus, the spaces for a possible politics of commonality between citizens and noncitizens.
