Review :
Charlotte O'Brien's Unity in Adversity offers a fresh take on the foundations and practical operation of Union citizenship, delivering a significant, genuinely new contribution to the conversation. O'Brien's approach to her subject of study is groundbreaking. Rather than merely commenting on implementation in the abstract, she worked with and alongside EU citizens and those advising them to experience first-hand how EU law works in practice. This has given her real insight into how EU citizens experience EU law, including those who are most marginalised in society. Overall, the book constitutes a very interesting, important and impressive contribution to EU legal scholarship on the extremely important, politically sensitive and academically challenging topic of EU citizenship law and issues of social welfare. Among its virtues may also be added that the author expresses a very good understanding and knowledge of the issues at stake, that the book is very well-written and well-researched, and that the author has many interesting ambitions in her approach to the topic. The book offers powerful vignettes highlighting how difficult it is in practice for individuals-with their varied histories and lives-to be shoe-horned into legal categories that are sensitive only to issues of the market, and not to those of justice... O'Brien's is a powerful critique of EU citizenship and its national application. [A] very remarkable, inspiring and wonderfully readable book! This book is a must-read for all engaged in politics, social rights, and EU law and policy. It is an eye-opener to the reality of neo-liberal developments.
