This book makes an important contribution towards an understanding
of citizenship as mediated by other collective, historically
determined identities: of gender, ethnicity, class and national
status. It brings together a group of prominent international
scholars from moral philosophy, law, political science and
sociology to offer a major reconceptualization of the idea of
citizenship. Throughout, the book is concerned with the current
dismantling of welfare states, the attack on civil society and the
rise in state terror and religious and cultural findamentalisms.
The contributors demonstrate how the growing ambivalence of state
sovereignty in the face of multi-national capitalism and the
absence of political accountability structures are complicit in the
definitions of gendered citizenship. Against these, women's
communal mobilization and political activism are considered in
terms of their power effects and political potentialities; the book
as a whole shows the need to negotiate and transcend difference and
to find means for creating alliances across differences. The most
comprehensive, comparative statement on the present state of the
gender and citizenship debate available, this book will be
necessary reading for students and academics of nationalism,
citizenship, human rights, globalization and women's studies.
