yliana's review against another edition
the class i was reading this for ended about two months ago and even though i wanted to finish this because i feel like the content might end up being very useful to my major and potential career paths, it's just very difficult for me to read and i don't feel like spending 30 minutes on two pages making sure that i understand what the author is trying to say. i'm just not used to the legal and philosophical language used. but the pages that i did read were really interesting and ridiculously thought-provoking.

At times the book is a bit "philosophical", meaning that a bit of background about political philosophy is required in order to fully understand the reading (I was not very familiar with Rawls). Nevertheless, the writing of the author is really clear and illustrates magnificently the paradox between the universality claim of human rights and the practical limits democratic sovereignty in the contemporary world.
Highly recommended if you are interested in the subject!

If you're looking for a philosophical take on immigration, this is the book for you. I'm not super philosophical, so I'm still not entirely sure I understood it in its totality, but the parts I did understand (once I reread them at least three times), were quite cool!
If analyzing Kant and Rawls and Arendt in order to address the interplay between universal human rights claims and state sovereignty brings your soul delight upon delights, then check this book out.
