Brilliant and pathbreaking (at the time of its authorship) but also dated and flawed. Isin and Wood do a decent job of succinctly summarizing salient criticisms in Chapter 2 of Citizenship and Identity. Marshall's work formed the germ of many subsequent, powerful theoretical critiques (e.g., those of Nancy Fraser, Linda Gordon, Evelyn Nakano Glenn). Indispensable to anyone interested in social policy and citizenship, inter alia. Brilliant and pathbreaking (at the time of its authorship) but also dated and flawed.

A must read for those who wish to deal with citizenship.

This book is weird. It is half the 50 page essay he wrote with the same title and half another, not nearly as good or relevant, essay by Tom Bottomore. That essay (also available in other books), is definitely a must-read for anyone studying citizenship (of any variety), since it has underlain all social scientific engagement with the topic since at least the early 1990s and really since it was written in 1950.
