"This is an in-depth examination of a slippery and contradictory
subject. Knowledge alone is not enough for this type of project. It
takes breaking out of narrow conceptual cages and unsettling what
we think of as stable meanings. The author brings all of this to
life in often unforgettable ways." - Saskia Sassen, Professor,
Columbia University "National identities were once taken largely
for granted in social science. Now they are part of an even more
complex 'politics of belonging' that challenges both public affairs
and the categories of social science. Nira Yuval-Davis offers a
nuanced account that will be important for scholars and all those
concerned with contemporary politics." - Craig Calhoun, Director,
LSE This is a cutting-edge investigation of the challenging debates
around belonging and the politics of belonging. Alongside the
hegemonic forms of citizenship and nationalism which have tended to
dominate our recent political and social history, Nira Yuval-Davis
examines alternative contemporary political projects of belonging
constructed around the notions of religion, cosmopolitanism and the
feminist 'ethics of care'. The book also explores the effects of
globalization, mass migration, the rise of both fundamentalist and
human rights movements on such politics of belonging, as well as
some of its racialized and gendered dimensions. A special space is
given to the various feminist political movements that have been
engaged as part of or in resistance to the political projects of
belonging. Yuval-Davis deconstructs notions of national and ethnic
and interrogates the effects that different political projects of
belonging have on members of these collectivities who are
differentially located socially, economically and politically.
