Citizens of Nowhere

Reviews / Votes

Convincing ... Marsili and Milanese - both of them philosophers, one a poet - have put their creative impulses to work. We should follow their example.' * The Spokesman * A proudly utopian work, this book carries the reader with ease through an engaging analysis of the main issues facing Europe today. * Peace News * This stunning book deftly overturns the idea that unless we have nation-state citizenship, we are citizens of nowhere. The result is an eloquent, passionate, and brilliant plea that asks for a practical and creative response to our predicament. * Engin Isin, author of Citizens without Frontiers * To regain control over our countries, we must organize across their borders. Instructed by the experience of European Alternatives, this book shows us how. To read it is to rediscover hope. * Philippe Van Parijs, co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network * A captivating engagement with our diverse European histories. A must read for those seeking to grasp some of the multiple strands that constitute our present condition. * Saskia Sassen, author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy * Sharp, short and unshackled, Marsili and Milanese show that if the EU is ever to become a genuine democracy, it will be because ordinary citizens have understood that we need a refresher course in the practice of liberte, egalite, and fraternite, and are coming together everywhere to ensure it. * Susan George, author of Shadow Sovereigns and Whose Crisis, Whose Future? * Milanese and Marsili have their finger on the pulse of Europe, and this engaging book comes at a crucial moment in time, as Europe prepares for Brexit. A must-read for all those who dream of a different, democratic and social Europe. * Ulrike Guerot, Founder and Director of the European Democracy Lab *
