Summary:

"The questions that animate this volume focus attention on the relationships between liberal conceptions of citizenship and democracy on one hand, and sex, race, and gender on the other: What are the relationships between global economic processes and political and legal empowerment? Who "counts" as a citizen in today's world, and what are the mechanisms through which the rights, benefits, and protections of liberal citizenship are differentially bestowed upon diverse groups? What forms of violence emerge in order to defend and define these rights, benefits, and protections, and how do these forms of violence reflect long histories? How might we recognize and account for the various avenues through which people attempt to make themselves as political subjects? The volume approaches these questions from multiple disciplinary frameworks, including Africana Studies, anthropology, disability studies, film studies, gender studies, history, law, political science, and sociology"-- Provided by publisher.

What does it mean to claim, two decades into the twenty-first century, that citizenship is on the edge? The essays in this volume argue that citizenship cannot be conceptualized as a transcendent good but must instead always be contextualized within specific places and times, and in relation to dynamic struggle.
