This often-overlooked area plays a key role in the way a citizen (or lack thereof) is defined within the national boundaries. One important aspect in a multi-ethnic society is the level of citizenship rights and privileges certain people are accorded. It isn't an accident nor oversight when racial preference(s) are intertwined with Citizenship. Reinhard Bendix gives a clear historical account of the factors that play in shaping and forming a nation, the beneficiaries of nation-building and those who are 'extended' citizenship status.
