Uncertain Citizenship delves into the intricate experiences of Bolivian migrants residing in Chile, shedding light on their understanding and perception of citizenship in their daily lives. The increasing trend of intraregional migration in Latin America presents a significant challenge to the conventional understanding and practice of citizenship in the region. As Megan Ryburn compellingly argues, a significant number of individuals find themselves in a state of uncertain citizenship as they navigate the complexities of movement and migration across borders.
