Ghost Citizens is about in situ stateless people, persons who live in a
country they consider their own but which does not recognize them as citizens.
Liew develops the concept of the "ghost citizen" to understand a global
experience and a double oppression: of being invisible and feared in law. The
term also refers to two troubling state practices: ghosting their own citizens
and conferring ghost citizenship (casting persons as foreigners without legal
proof). Told through an examination of law, legal processes and interviews
with stateless persons and their advocates, this deeply researched book
examines international and domestic jurisprudence as well as administrative
decision making to show an emerging practice where states are pointing to a
mother figure, constructed in law as racialized, foreign and potentially
disloyal, to depict persons as not kin and therefore the responsibility of
other states. By tracing British colonial legal vestiges in the case study of
Malaysia, Liew shows how contemporary post-colonial, democratic and multi-
juridical states deploy law and its processes and historical ideas of racial
categories to create and maintain statelessness. This book challenges
established norms of state recognition and calls for a discussion of ideas
borrowed from other areas of law, including Indigenous legal traditions and
family law, on how we should organize our communities with more respectful
relations and treatment among kin.
