Making Citizenship Work seeks to address questions of how a
community reaches a place where it can actually make citizenship
work. A second question addressed is "What does citizenship
represent to different communities?" Across thirteen chapters a
collection of experts traverse multiple disciplines in analyzing
citizenship from different points of access. Each chapter revolves
around the premise that empowerment of communities, and individuals
within the community, comes in different forms and is governed by
multiple needs and visions. Authors utilize case studies to
demonstrate the different roles that communities from a broad
sector of our society adopt to accomplish constructing democratic
processes that reflect their goals, needs, and cultures.
Concurrently authors address the structural obstacles to the
empowerment of communities, arguing that the democratic process
does not and cannot accommodate the diverse communities of society
within a single universalistic model of citizenship. They conclude
that fundamentally citizenship is not simply a legal right, an
obligation, a state of rights, but a practice, an action on the
behalf of community. Making Citizenship Work challenges
conventional thinking about politics while also encouraging readers
to go beyond the box that deters us from visualizing a human
society. It is an ideal book for undergraduate and graduate courses
in political science, sociology, history, social work and Ethnic
Studies.
