Beschreibung
A significant addition to the growing body of literature on citizenship, this wide-ranging overview focuses on the importance, and changing nature, of citizenship. It introduces the varied discourses and theories that have arisen in recent years, and looks toward future scholarship in the field. * Offers an analytical assessment of the various thematic discourses and provides guidance in pulling together those discrete themes into a larger, more comprehensive framework * Identifies the four broadly conceived themes that shape the many discourses on contemporary citizenship - inclusion, erosion, withdrawal, and expansion * Includes a thorough introduction to the subject
Rezensionen
"Citizenship has emerged as one of the crucial issues in sociology, uniting such topics as globalization, immigration, multiculturalism and ethnic conflict, the future of the welfare state, and the meaning of contemporary national politics. Kivisto and Faist provide a lively introduction and show why the question of citizenship has come to supplant many of the traditional concerns of both the Left and Right." Stephen Turner, University of South Florida <!--end--> "An impressive achievement. A comprehensive but concise account of the field of citizenship studies, delivering a decisive challenge to re-thinking citizenship." Bryan S. Turner, National University of Singapore "Citizenship should be a central concern for sociology. Kivisto and Faist offer a concise and clear review of conceptual frameworks, historical trends, the current situation and future directions, which will be helpful to students and teachers alike." Craig Calhoun, New York University "This work would be a useful primer for a class in political sociology or for any class that deals with 'citizenship.'"
