Recognition lies at the heart of multiple contests around
citizenship rights, identity politics, claims for material
re-distribution, and demands for past harms to be acknowledged.
This book seeks to consider where various contemporary contests
over recognition are taking us. By looking at disputes around
disability, race and ethnicity, nationalism, class, sexuality and
ownership of the past, it explores the contemporary significance of
recognition claims. In reflection of the global contexts of such
disputes, the book draws on accounts from Europe, the USA, Latin
America, the Middle East and Australasia. In doing so the book
explores the following questions: Do we live in a moment where
recognition is opening up to allow for greater space for varied or
hybrid forms of living and mutual valuation, provided with rights
and protection? Or is recognition paradoxically a means to narrow
down options to more restrictive categories of acceptable ways of
living and legitimate access to rights?
