In this rich analysis of the changing ideals of citizenship,
Stephen K. White offers a path for the renewal of democratic life
in the twenty-first century. Looking beyond passive notions of
citizenship defined in terms of voting or passport possession,
White seeks a more aspirational portrait, both participatory and
inclusive, that challenges citizens, especially in the middle
class, to confront power structures to achieve greater justice.
Using the Tea Party and followers of Donald Trump as foils, he
shows how these groups' resentful and exclusivist conceptions of
active citizenship undermine democratic aspirations. White explores
how such deleterious influence might be effectively engaged by a
robust counter-conception on the democratic left. The book makes
this aspirational ideal conceptually clear, normatively compelling
and aesthetically attractive.
