Flexible global citizenship is available only to a privileged few

Evidence

Not all migrants suffer these extremes, however. The trends identified by some commentators towards globalization of labor and the emergence of transnational citizenship are real enough. It is also clear, however, that for everyone who can claim to enjoy global or flexible citizenships (Ong, 1999), there are many more who are shut out from every aspect of citizenship, local and global (Goldberg, 2001). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 140

Categorization

• XREF: Qualifies celebratory ‘transnational citizenship’/‘globalization of labor’ accounts (e.g. Aihwa Ong) by insisting most migrants face total citizenship exclusion — a corrective worth carrying into vault summaries.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 140
