In Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights the combined analytical
efforts of the fields of human rights law, conflict studies,
anthropology, history, media studies, gender studies, and critical
race and postcolonial studies raise a comprehensive understanding
of the discursive and visual mediation of migration and
manifestations of belonging and citizenship. More insight into the
convergence - but also the tensions - between the cultural and the
legal foundations of citizenship, has proven to be vital to the
understanding of societies past and present, especially to assess
processes of inclusion and exclusion. Citizenship is more than a
collection of rights and privileges held by the individual members
of a state but involves cultural and historical interpretations,
legal contestation and regulation, as well as an active engagement
with national, regional, and local state and other institutions
about the boundaries of those (implicitly gendered and raced)
rights and privileges. Highlighting and assessing the
transformations of what citizenship entails today is crucially
important to the future of Europe, which both as an idea and as a
practical project faces challenges that range from the crisis of
legitimacy to the problems posed by mass migration. Many of the
issues addressed in this book, however, also play out in other
parts of the world, as several of the chapters reflect. This book
