The idea that citizenship was the right of all humanity emerged
during the French Revolution. However, this right was limited by
gender, class and race. Studying Europe and its colonies and the
United States, this book analyzes images of masculine citizenship
in political rhetoric, culture, and various political struggles
from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Politicians
manipulated the rhetoric of masculine citizenship, using images of
paternity and fraternity. Art represented competing images of the
masculine citizen, ranging from the black revolutionary to the
neo-Greek white statue. Political subjects in empires and colonies
appropriated and subverted these western ideals, revealing the
exclusions in the rhetoric of masculine citizenship.
