Whilst the politics of reproduction have been at the heart of
feminist struggles for over a century and a half, their analysis
has not yet come to occupy a central place in the interdisciplinary
study of citizenship. This volume takes up the challenge posed by
Bryan Turner, when he noted "the absence of any systematic thinking
about familial relations, reproduction and citizenship" (2008), and
offers the first major global collection of work exploring this
nexus of practices and political contestations. The book brings
together citizenship scholars from across Europe, the Americas, and
Australia to develop feminist and queer analyses of the
relationship between citizenship and reproduction, and to explore
the ways in which citizenship is reproduced. Extending the
foundational work of feminist political theorists and sociologists
who have interrogated the public/private dichotomy on which
traditional civic republican and liberal understandings of
citizenship rest, the contributors examine the biological, sexual,
and technological realities of natality, and the social realities
of the intimate intergenerational material and affective labour
that are generative of citizens, and that serve to reproduce
membership of, and belonging to, states, nations, societies, and
thus of "citizenship" itself. This book was published as a special
issue of Citizenship Studies.
