This chapter explores the racialised dimensions of Liberia’s citizenship debates, focusing on how race, class, and descent intersect in the contested narratives of national belonging. It examines the claims for dual citizenship by diaspora Liberians and non-Negro migrants, revealing how racial identity and socio-economic positioning shape the boundaries of belonging. The chapter highlights the enduring influence of settler colonial legacies, showing how opposition to dual citizenship is rooted in anxieties over recolonisation by economically and politically powerful elites, particularly diaspora Liberians and non-Negro migrants such as the Lebanese community. By analysing the constitutional “Negro clause” and diaspora Liberians expressions of formalised identity and belonging, the chapter shows how both historical anxieties and contemporary racialised experiences informs claims for, as well as the contestations over dual citizenship.
