Citizenship has come under intense discussion recently because of
threats to welfare and shifting immigration policies. The European
Union has opened transnational citizenship rights and fledgling
democracies throughout the world are struggling to establish their
own versions of citizenship. Extending Citizenship, Reconfiguring
States connects all these current discussions and places them in
historical perspective. The book presents a thematically unified
analysis of changing citizenship practices over two centuries_from
the eve of the French Revolution to contemporary China. Showing how
rights emerge with the appearance of new social groups and the
reconfiguration of states, the authors identify conditions under
which rights and citizenship expand as new groups develop within
consolidated states as well as how rights and citizenship emerge
within fragmented states with cross-cutting legal jurisdictions.
In the United States, more than 15 million women are parenting
children on their own, either by circumstance or by choice. Too
often these moms who do it all have been misrepresented and
maligned. Not anymore. In We Got This, seventy-five solo mom
writers tell the truth about their lives--their hopes and fears,
their resilience and setbacks, their embarrassments and triumphs.
Some of these writers' names will sound familiar, like Amy Poehler,
Anne Lamott, and Elizabeth Alexander, while others are about to
become unforgettable. Bound together by their strength, pride,
and--most of all-- their dedication to their children, they
broadcast a universal and empowering message: You are not alone,
solo moms--and your tenacity, courage, and fierce love are worthy
of celebration.
