This book examines how concepts of citizenship have been negotiated
in Anglophone Canadian literature since the 1970s. Katja Sarkowsky
argues that literary texts conceptualize citizenship as political
"co-actorship" and as cultural "co-authorship" (Boele van
Hensbroek), using citizenship as a metaphor of ambivalent
affiliations within and beyond Canada. In its exploration of urban,
indigenous, environmental, and diasporic citizenship as well as of
citizenship's growing entanglement with questions of human rights,
Canadian literature reflects and feeds into the term's conceptual
diversification. Exploring the works of Guillermo Verdecchia, Joy
Kogawa, Jeannette Armstrong, Maria Campbell, Cheryl Foggo, Fred
Wah, Michael Ondaatje, and Dionne Brand, this text investigates how
citizenship functions to denote emplaced practices of participation
in multiple collectives that are not restricted to the framework of
the nation-state.
