That’s a Wrap 🎬

David Owen & Rainer Bauböck respond to 13 entries in the Citizenship as Reparations Debate

🤔 Does why a state offers reparative citizenship matter as much as to whom?
🎭 Can symbolic reparation mask selective immigration?
⚖️ When is it a moral duty, not just a choice?

New Entry ✨

@jdzankic.bsky.social warns that reparative citizenship 🛂 isn’t always about justice ⚖️ It’s selective (who counts), transactional (status-for-benefit), and strategic (state interest first) 🇪🇸🇲🇽🇱🇷

A passport 🛂 isn’t always reparations, sometimes it’s geopolitics 🌍

The strangest thing happened to me today. I got a google alert that I have been quoted (a direct quote with name and affiliation) in a news outlet I never talked to on a topic I never talked about.

Anyone with a similar experience?
