"Aihwa Ong's Flexible Citizenship: The Cultural Logics of Transnationality intensifies the decadelong 'rebirth' of diaspora and transnational studies with provocative and far-reaching insights. Grappling with the meanings of citizenship in late capitalism, Ong coins the term 'flexible citizenship' to refer to the cultural logics of capitalist accumulation, travel, and displacement that induce subjects to respond fluidly and opportunistically to changing political-economic conditions."
