Citizenship

This book explores theories of citizenship, its relevance to the lives of a populace, and how it might be used to address critical issues of state, identity, and the human condition. In stark contrast to previous scholarship about citizenship as a construct, this book covers the full spectrum of literature from classical Greco-Roman foundations to the postmodern turn and contemporary critical social theory as a way of illuminating, on the one hand, its intellectual richness and on the other, ongoing challenges in both conceptualization and practice.
