Genealogies of Citizenship is a remarkable rethinking of human
rights and social justice. As global governance is increasingly
driven by market fundamentalism, growing numbers of citizens have
become socially excluded and internally stateless. Against this
movement to organize society exclusively by market principles,
Margaret Somers argues that socially inclusive democratic rights
must be counter-balanced by the powers of a social state, a robust
public sphere and a relationally-sturdy civil society. Through
epistemologies of history and naturalism, contested narratives of
social capital, and Hurricane Katrina's racial apartheid, she warns
that the growing authority of the market is distorting the
non-contractualism of citizenship; rights, inclusion and moral
worth are increasingly dependent on contractual market value. In
this pathbreaking work, Somers advances an innovative view of
rights as public goods rooted in an alliance of public power,
political membership, and social practices of equal moral
recognition - the right to have rights.
