sanguinis, understanding citizenship granted by descent (hence often called ‘bloodline citizenship’), and naturalization. Chapter 9 covers citizenship, membership, and belonging. Assimilation is framed as a model traditionally promoted by governments, where migrants are expected to abandon many aspects of their previous identity and adopt the new identity of the host society. Steiner critiques the assimilation model and offers a more compelling alternative, which is integration (though not without its own critics). The chapter also discusses the highly debated concept of multiculturalism in recent decades. One of the strengths of this book is its provision of concrete examples from various countries regarding the issues of immigration and citizenship. However, a weakness of the book is its limited focus on sending countries or the experiences of migrants. Additionally, the applicability of the book may be constrained as the context of the problems and solutions offered may not necessarily align with those in other countries. In the concluding part, Steiner offers a summary that encourages reflection on the challenges of migration and citizenship within the context of liberal democracy. A nuanced and adaptable framework is proposed that recognizes the complexities of contemporary migration and aims to foster inclusive societies. With accessible analysis and an exploration of diverse perspectives and geographies, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate issues surrounding international migration and citizenship in today’s world.

Abstract Even though elsewhere in the Western world and the gulf regions, many studies explore the effect of extreme weather conditions on the construction of houses, little is known in sub-Saharan Africa. This study therefore engages homeowners and various construction workers in a qualitative study to analyze how rainfall affects the building of houses. A total of 75 participants, comprising 20 homeowners and 55 construction workers were purposively selected to share their experiences about the impact of rainfall on the construction of houses using in-depth interviews. The narratives of the participants made several revelations to deepen knowledge on the effect of climatic conditions such as rainfall on housing construction. The study revealed that rainfall causes financial losses to homeowners and creates hazardous work environments for construction workers. Financial losses are encountered through the destruction of building materials, increases in the cost of building materials in the wet season and extra labour costs incurred in carrying out reworks. This challenge posed by extreme rainfall has implications of hindering many prospective homeowners in achieving their aspiration of becoming homeowners.
