Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. The plurality of cultures, voices, sounds and images has come to characterize every part of the world today, calling into question our capacity to deal with the dogma of difference in a world where borders and boundaries define our relationship with the Other. While human affairs now take place on a global scale, we see institutions and loyalties shifting away in rapid and often unpredictable ways, forcing us to decide whether we should live within fortified borders, or engage and exchange with hybrid and transnational identities. In this scenario, the present collection of chapters will explore new conjunctures and trajectories on the idea of pluralism, and their social and political implications for identity, sociality, public recognition, and transnational forms of citizenship. Taking into account theoretical and practical perspectives, the approaches here considered will attempt to analyse the relationship between globalisation and the various issues of equality and difference as expressed in personal identifications, cultural roots and national diversities.

The Dialectics of Citizenship
Author: Bernd Reiter
Publisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1628951621
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
What does it mean to be a citizen? What impact does an active democracy have on its citizenry and why does it fail or succeed in fulfilling its promises? Most modern democracies seem unable to deliver the goods that citizens expect; many politicians seem to have given up on representing the wants and needs of those who elected them and are keener on representing themselves and their financial backers. What will it take to bring democracy back to its original promise of rule by the people? Bernd Reiter’s timely analysis reaches back to ancient Greece and the Roman Republic in search of answers. It examines the European medieval city republics, revolutionary France, and contemporary Brazil, Portugal, and Colombia. Through an innovative exploration of country cases, this study demonstrates that those who stand to lose something from true democracy tend to oppose it, making the genealogy of citizenship concurrent with that of exclusion. More often than not, exclusion leads to racialization, stigmatizing the excluded to justify their non-membership. Each case allows for different insights into the process of how citizenship is upheld and challenged. Together, the cases reveal how exclusive rights are constituted by contrasting members to non-members who in that very process become racialized others. The book provides an opportunity to understand the dynamics that weaken democracy so that they can be successfully addressed and overcome in the future.

Disputing Citizenship
Author: Clarke, John
Publisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 1447312546
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Citizenship is always in dispute – in practice as well as in theory – but conventional perspectives do not address why the concept of citizenship is so contentious. This unique book presents a new perspective on citizenship by treating it as a continuing focus of dispute.The authors dispute the way citizenship is normally conceived and analysed within the social sciences, developing a view of citizenship as always emerging from struggle. This view is advanced through an exploration of the entanglements of politics, culture and power that are both embodied and contested in forms and practices of citizenship. This compelling view of citizenship emerges from the international and interdisciplinary collaboration of the four authors, drawing on the diverse disputes over citizenship in their countries of origin (Brazil, France, the UK and the US). The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of citizenship, no matter what their geographical, political or academic location.
