This book is an important contribution to the general literature on citizenship. It draws on a range of disciplines to address theoretical and policy dilemmas in the construction of women's citizenship. Traditional thinking about citizenship is recast to embrace both rights and political participation in the development of a 'woman-friendly' theory and praxis of citizenship, challenging conventional dichotomies and taking account of the differences between women. The barriers to women's full citizenship are explored, together with strategies for overcoming them.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 300 pages. The competing pressures of globalization and immigration have forced people e verywhere to think long and hard about what it means to be a citizen. In Citizen ship, Ruth Lister argues for a new feminist notion of citizenship, one that can accommodate difference. Lister argues that citizenship has traditionally been a tool of social and political exclusion, inequality, and xenophobia. How, then, s he asks, can it offer a solid foundation for progressive, non-discriminatory pol icymaking? Lister explores a range of disciplines and a burgeoning international literature on citizenship, pinpointing important theoretical issues and recasti ng traditional thinking about it, while exploring its political and policy impli cations for women in all their diversity. Themes of inclusion and exclusion (at the national and international level), rights and participation, inequality and difference are thus brought to the fore in the development of a woman-friendly theory of citizenship. Wide-ranging, stimulating, and accessible, this pathbrea king book will be of particular interest and relevance to students, activists, a nd policymakers. N° de réf. du vendeur 6859i
