About this product
Product Information
This innovative book argues that documents such as passports, internal passports and related mechanisms have been crucial in making distinctions between citizens and noncitizens. It explains how the concept of citizenship has been used over the past 200 years to delineate rights and penalties regarding property, liberty, taxes and welfare. Focusing on the United States and Western Europe, it combines theory and empirical data in questioning how and why states have established the exclusive right to authorize and regulate the movement of people.

'With the world awash in refugees, immigrants, 'guest workers', travellers, and the occasional terrorist, an interpretative study of identity papers and passports is certainly timely - the more so since even as the administrative reach of individual states keeps growing with modern technology, international norms of human rights and a movement toward open borders in Europe work, ostensibly, to limit state power ... The historical sociologist John Torpey is well equipped to address these issues ... his canvass is wide and does ample justice to his subject.' The American Historical Review, 'With the world awash in refugees, immigrants, 'guest workers', travellers, and the occasional terrorist, an interpretative study of identity papers and passports is certainly timely - the more so since even as the administrative reach of individual states keeps growing with modern technology, international norms of human rights and a movement toward open borders in Europe work, ostensibly, to limit state power … The historical sociologist John Torpey is well equipped to address these issues … his canvass is wide and does ample justice to his subject.' The American Historical Review, ‘In this insightful, carefully documents, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the ‘révolution identificatoire’ of which it is an integral part. His theoretically sensitive treatment is essential to our understanding of the modern state system.’Journal of Management History, "With the world awash in refugees, immigrants, "guest workers," travelers, and the occasional terrorist, an interpretive study of identity papers and passports is certainly timely....The historical sociologist John Torpey is well equipped to address these issues. By training he is equally respectful of historical detail and nuance and of the interpretive arguments in contemporary social science. . . His canvas is wide and does ample justice to his subject." Isser Woloch, The American Historical Review, ‘The ingenuity of this book is evident in the focus on the passport. This document represents a kind of sociological Geiger counter for all sorts of far-reaching social and political tensions – tensions arising from endemic struggles between state power and individuals’ own notions of where they want to go and where they prefer to remain … The Invention of the Passport is not just about passports, but also about the interests engaged in their use … [an] excellent achievement.’Politics, Social Movements and the State, 'In this insightful, carefully documented, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the 'révolution identificatoire' of which it is an integral part. His theoretically sensitive treatment is essential to our understanding of the modern state system.' Journal of Modern History, 'In this groundbreaking exploration of the passport's vicissitudes from the French Revolution to the present time, Torpey argues convincingly that the passport is important to our understanding of the nature of the state and the state system.' American Journal of Sociology, "In this groundbreaking exploration of the passport's vicissitudes from the French Revolution to the present time, Torpey argues convincingly that the passport is important to our understanding of the nature of the state and the state system." American Journal of Sociology, "In this insightful, carefully documented, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the 'revolution identificatiore' of which it is an integral part. His theoretically sensitive treatment is essential to our understanding of the modern state system. What Torpey has accomplished here is to have denaturalized, by close historical analysis, the utterly taken-for-granted, contemporary regime of passports." James C. Scott, Journal of Modern History, 'In this insightful, carefully documents, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the 'rvolution identificatoire' of which it is an integral part.

Library Journal, "...thoughtful and imaginative book on passports and the controls effected by them... The ingenuity of this book is evident in the focus on the passport." James B. Rule, Contemporary Sociology, 'In this insightful, carefully documents, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the 'r volution identificatoire' of which it is an integral part.

The Invention of the Passport is not just about passports, but also about the interests engaged in their use ... [an] excellent achievement.' Politics, Social Movements and the State, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that Torpey has written the first modern account of the invention and evolution of passports and their uses, and has therby opened up entirely new vistas for future research and debate.... there can be no doubt about the validity of his penetrating analysis as a whole, which makes this book a truly remarkable achievement." The International History Review, 'In this insightful, carefully documents, and analytically astute account, Torpey has laid out for us with elegance and clarity the history of the passport and the 'révolution identificatoire' of which it is an integral part.
