Discover the fascinating history of “The Invention of the Passport: Surveillance, Citizenship and the State.” This insightful Cambridge Studies in Law and Society book reveals how documents like passports and internal controls have shaped the very definition of citizenship over the last two centuries. Explore how states use these mechanisms to distinguish between citizens and non-citizens, influencing rights and penalties related to property, liberty, taxes, and welfare. Focusing on the United States and Western Europe, this study brilliantly combines theory and empirical data to question the state’s exclusive authority over regulating human movement. Essential reading for understanding modern governance and the evolution of rights.
