Yael Berda discusses her book "Colonial Bu reaucracy and Contemporary Citizenship\," which examines how the legacies o f colonial bureaucracy continue to shape political life after empire. Focus ing on the former British colonies of India\, Cyprus\, and Israel/Palestine \, the book explores how post-colonial states use their inherited administr ative legacies to classify and distinguish between loyal and suspicious sub jects and manage the movement of populations\, thus shaping the practical m eaning of citizenship and belonging within their new boundaries. The book o ffers a novel institutional theory of 'hybrid bureaucracy' to explain how r acialized bureaucratic practices were used by powerful administrators in st ate organizations to shape the making of political identity and belonging i n the new states. Combining law\, sociology and anthropology of the state w ith the study of institutions\, this book offers new knowledge to overturn conventional understandings of bureaucracy\, demonstrating that routine bur eaucratic practices and persistent colonial logics continue to shape unequa l political status to this day.
