Suspect Families cover

This book outlines the European framework of family reunification and the reasons for focussing on Austria, Finland and Germany. It presents the case studies that provide a general understanding of how DNA testing affects the national immigration policies.

'Suspect Families is a timely and thoughtful analysis of the uses of DNA testing in contemporary immigration policy in Europe. The book not only offers a valuable comparative perspective, but also raises serious ethical concerns and theoretical issues about our understanding of identity, family and citizenship. It should be a work of reference for anyone working on these important and fascinating topics.' - Katja Franko Aas, University of Oslo, Norway

'Suspect Families is a much-needed book on the present circumstances of global kinship testing and forms an important empirical base from which we can explore further theoretical and conceptual problems pertaining to the legal, social, cultural and political ramifications of biotechnology on society.' - Sonja van Wichelen, University of Sydney, Australia, The Sociological Review
