Synopsis

One in seven people worldwide is moving, both voluntarily and involuntarily, both within countries and between them. Greater numbers belong to several communities at once, yet the social contract between state and citizen is still nationally bounded. From where will the cultural building blocks come, with which we can imagine a different kind of nation and institution that better reflect this reality? This book looks at the potential role of music competitions, beauty magazines, elite social clubs, and religious movements, among others, as potential breeding grounds for the creation of global citizenship. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
