Book Review: Harpaz,Yossi (2019) Citizenship 2.0: Dual Nationality as a Global Asset. Princeton University Press,Princeton, New Jersey, 216pp.

Harpaz sets out to analyse the strategic acquisition of a second citizenship as one of the examples for the growing legitimacy and prevalence of dual citizenship. He seeks an answer on how the nature of the institution of citizenship changes with wider acceptance of dual citizenship, but, instead of looking at it from the perspective of the lawmakers, Harpaz offers a perspective of the individual, based on extensive fieldwork in three countries – Serbia, Mexico and Israel.     

‘A southern college slipped from its geographical moorings’: slavery at Princeton

While slave-owning students at Princeton rarely constituted a majority of students, they were often a large plurality of the students in the antebellum period. Because of Princeton's historic role in educating southerners, it has sometimes been referred to as the most southern of the Ivy League schools. So many students from the United States South enrolled at Princeton during the first several decades of the college that one observer wrote that one might take Princeton for a ‘Southern college slipped from its geographical moorings.’ This article explores the extent to which and whether Princeton behaved like a southern institution in its speech and actions concerning slavery and emancipation.
