Previous notions of what constitutes "citizenship" within a
country have been steadily challenged by the movement towards a
globalized world. Examining the everyday habits of citizens and
non-citizens, the contributors to Recasting the Social in
Citizenship show how citizenship has increasingly been determined
by social behaviours rather than by civil or political
affiliations. Broadening the debate by interpreting the social not
only as rights and privileges, but also as everyday struggles, this
volume offers studies that range from environmental and security
issues to transnational migration and military transformations. It
further discusses debates over multiculturalism and integration and
takes a fresh look at how social activities such as eating,
commuting, smoking, as well as sexual habits of citizens and
non-citizens have become increasingly governed by the state.
Tracing developments in politics and social actions that have
bound together citizens and non-citizens, Engin F. Isin and the
volume's contributors explore the social sites that have become
objects of government, and considers how these subjects are sites
of contestation, resistance, differentiation and identification. In
doing so, they provide significant insights into the changing
states of citizenship and social governance, making Recasting the
Social in Citizenship an engaging collection that will be of
interest to sociologists, political scientists, and anyone with a
concern about immigration and citizenship.
