Theorising Noncitizenship : Concepts, Debates and Challenges Paperback / softback
Edited by Katherine Tonkiss, Tendayi (The Open University, UK) Bloom
Paperback / softback
Description
‘Noncitizenship’, if it is considered at all, is generally seen only as the negation or deprivation of citizenship.
It is rarely examined in its own right, whether in relation to States, to noncitizens, or citizens.
This means that it is difficult to examine successfully the status of noncitizens, obligations towards them, and the nature of their role in political systems.
As a result, not only are there theoretical black holes, but also the real world difficulties created as a result of noncitizenship are not currently successfully addressed.
In response, Theorising Noncitizenship seeks to define the theoretical challenge that noncitizenship presents and to consider why it should be seen as a foundational concept in social science.
The contributions, from leading scholars in the field and across disciplinary backgrounds, capture a diversity of perspectives on the meaning, position and lived experience of noncitizenship.
They demonstrate that, we need to look beyond citizenship in order to take noncitizenship seriously and to capture fully the lived realities of the contemporary State system.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
