Civics and citizenship Books
Open University Press Citizenship in a Global Age
Book Synopsis* What is citizenship?* Is global citizenship possible?* Can cosmopolitanism provide an alternative to globalization?Citizenship in a Global Age provides a comprehensive and concise overview of the main debates on citizenship and the implications of globalization. It argues that citizenship is no longer defined by nationality and the nation state, but has become de-territorialized and fragmented into the separate discourses of rights, participation, responsibility and identity. Gerard Delanty claims that cosmopolitanism is increasingly becoming a significant force in the global world due to new expressions of cultural identity, civic ties, human rights, technological innovations, ecological sustainability and political mobilization. Citizenship is no longer exclusively about the struggle for social equality but has become a major site of battles over cultural identity and demands for the recognition of group difference. Delanty argues that globalization both threatens aTable of ContentsSeries editor's forewordPreface and acknowledgementsIntroductionPart one: Models of citizenshipThe liberal theory of citizenshiprights and dutiesCommunitarian theories of citizenshipparticipation and identityThe radical theories of politicscitizenship and democracyPart two: The cosmopolitan challengeCosmopolitan citizenshipbeyond the nation-stateHuman rights and citizenshipthe emergence of the embodied selfGlobalization and the deterritorialization of spacebetween order and chaosThe transformation of the nation-statenationalism, the city, migration and multi-culturalismEuropean integration and postnational citizenshipfour kinds of postnationalizationPart three: Rethinking citizenshipThe reconfiguration of citizenshippostnational governance in the multi-levelled polityConclusionthe idea of civic cosmopolitanismReferencesIndex.

Taylor & Francis Citizenship Identity and Social Movements in the
Book SynopsisHong Kongâs âUmbrella Revolutionâ has been widely regarded as a watershed moment in the polityâs post-1997 history. While public protest has long been a routine part of Hong Kongâs political culture, the preparedness of large numbers of citizens to participate in civil disobedience represented a new moment for Hong Kong society, reflecting both a very high level of politicisation and a deteriorating relationship with Beijing. The transformative processes underpinning the dramatic events of autumn 2014 have a wide relevance to scholarly debates on Hong Kong, China and the changing contours of world politics today. This book provides an accessible entry point into the political and social cleavages that underpinned, and were expressed through, the Umbrella Movement. A key focus is the societal context and issues that have led to growth in a Hong Kong identity and how this became highly politically charged during the Umbrella Movement. It is widely recognised that political and Trade Review'This lucidly written book offers a timely analysis of the various shapes of Hong Kong’s thriving localism. It is both empirically rich and theoretically sound. In general, it reveals to keen readers a complex systems theory of changing interconnections, including; generational replacement, new socio-political movements, delicately changing situational identity informed by established as well as emerging social, economic and political divides. It is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand the haphazard development of Hong Kong in a process of accelerating absorption into Mainland China.' - KUAN, Hsin Chi, Emeritus Professor, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong KongTable of ContentsNotes on contributorsIntroductionChapter 1 Decolonisation deferred: Hong Kong identity in historical perspective (Wing Sang Law)Chapter 2 Changing identity politics: The democracy movement in Hong Kong (Ma Ngok)Chapter 3 Mainland Chinese immigration in Hong Kong (香港新移民): Analysing anti-immigrant sentiment (James F.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Securitizations of Citizenship
Book SynopsisSecuritizations of Citizenship investigates how the fate of citizenship is now caught up in a dramatic and dangerous process of securitizing political communities. In the nervous state of affairs of the post-9/11 period, technologies of surveillance and control are rapidly proliferating, creating severe constraints for the enactment of citizenship practices. While citizenship has always faced the problem of exclusiveness, the contemporary relationship between security, territory, and population is being transformed in ways that are creating new dynamics of exclusion for citizens, non-citizens, and quasi-citizens alike. This book assesses a variety of citizenship practices in relation to the emergence of forms of governance that are responsive to and constitutive of fears, anxieties, and insecurities in the population. At the same time, the book identifies and assesses citizenship practices for how they can mobilize progressive forces to militate against the nervousTable of ContentsIntroduction: Securitizations of Citizenship Peter Nyers 1.

Taylor & Francis Politics of Catastrophe
Book SynopsisThis book argues that catastrophe is a particular way of governing future events â such as terrorism, climate change or pandemics â which we cannot predict but which may strike suddenly, without warning, and cause irreversible damage.At a time where catastrophe increasingly functions as a signifier of our future, imaginaries of pending doom have fostered new modes of anticipatory knowledge and redeployed existing ones. Although it shares many similarities with crises, disasters, risks and other disruptive incidents, this book claims that catastrophes also bring out the very limits of knowledge and management. The politics of catastrophe is turned towards an unknown future, which must be imagined and inhabited in order to be made palpable, knowable and actionable. Politics of Catastrophe critically assesses the effects of these new practices of knowing and governing catastrophes to come and challenges the reader to think about the possibility of an alternative politicTrade Review'[The authors] offer cutting and quite thrilling critiques of Western security practices - theoretically adept and beautifully written, they are at the forefron of exciting new research to come.' - Peter Adey, Radical Philosophy, 176, November/December 2012‘This book advances our understanding of the complex and often paradoxical terrain of the catastrophe as a field of knowledge and target of anticipatory governance. In doing so, its authors stand at the forefront of new thinking about contemporary regimes of security, power and governmentality.’ - Mitchell Dean, University of Newcastle, Australia'This excellent volume is the first book-length engagement with the implications of catastrophe for contemporary practices of security governing. It is an important contribution to our current understandings of the politics of preemption, and it is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the contemporary logic of security and securitization.' - Mariek de Goede, University of Amsterdam '[T]his is a well-crafted and historically grounded comparative study that makes a welcomed and valuable contribution to the literature on foreign policy Europeanization and Europe−Latin America relations. Highly recommended for practitioners, students and scholars alike.' - Antonio Raimundo, NICPRI-University of Minho, Portugal'In addition to the discussion of emergent ways of anticipating the future and positioning political subjectivity, this excellent book establishes new paths by which to appropriate catastrophe conceptually. Overall, this book works both to consolidate and seriously further our understanding of the complex relations between knowledge and what it means to govern - and be governed by - unknown futures.'

Taylor & Francis Rethinking the Chicano Movement
Book SynopsisIn the 1960s and 1970s, an energetic new social movement emerged among Mexican Americans. Fighting for civil rights and celebrating a distinct ethnic identity, the Chicano Movement had a lasting impact on the United States, from desegregation to bilingual education.Rethinking the Chicano Movement provides an astute and accessible introduction to this vital grassroots movement. Bringing together different fields of research, this comprehensive yet concise narrative considers the Chicano Movement as a national, not just regional, phenomenon, and places it alongside the other important social movements of the era. Rodriguez details the many different facets of the Chicano movement, including college campuses, third-party politics, media, and art, and traces the development and impact of one of the most important post-WWII social movements in the United States.Trade Review"With Rethinking the Chicano Movement, Marc Simon Rodriguez has artfully placed El Movimiento into its rightful place in American civil rights history. Rethinking is a critical addition to the undergraduate classroom, a significant reinterpretation of the movement’s legacy, and an exceptional read for anyone interested in Mexican American and civil rights history. This book is a must read."—Michael Innis-Jiménez, author of Steel Barrio: Mexican Migration to South Chicago, 1915-1940"This book offers a compelling narrative of the Chicano movement, bringing to light its broad history, successes and limitations, as well as much new information on the struggle. Rethinking the Chicano Movement is a tremendously ambitious and important work."—Brian D. Behnken, author of Fighting Their Own Battles: Mexican Americans, African Americans, and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Texas"Rodriguez has written an interesting and fresh interpretation of the Chicano movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is an exciting book combining dramatic chapters with an insightful and balanced analysis. Historians will welcome this superbly rendered synthesis. It is ideally suited for students seeking to understand the social ferment that surrounded the Chicano struggle for equality and justice."—Zaragosa Vargas, author of Crucible of Struggle: A History of Mexican America from Colonial Times to the PresentTable of ContentsIntroduction: Mexican Americanism and the Long Chicano MovementChapter 1: A Growing Militancy: The Farm Workers in California and Political Activism in TexasChapter 2: The New Urban Politics: Chicanos and The War on PovertyChapter 3: Youth and the Campus: Chicano Students and Chicano EducationChapter 4: News and the Movement: Newspapers and Ideas in the Chicano MovementChapter 5: Art and the Movement: Chicano Murals and Community SpaceConclusion: Rethinking to Move ForwardBibliography

Taylor & Francis Ltd Telling Maya Tales Tzotzil Identities in Modern
Book SynopsisTelling Maya Tales offers an experimental ethnographic portrait of the San Juan Chamula, the largest and most influential Maya community of Highland Chiapas, in the late twentieth century--the era of the Zapatistas. In this collection of essays, the author, whose field work in the area spans two generations of anthropological thought, explores several expressions of Tzotzil ethnic affirmation, ranging from oral narrative to ritual drama and political action. His work covers the current era, when the Chamula Tzotzils mingle chaotically and sometimes violently with the social and political space of modern Mexico--most recently, in the context of the Maya Zapatista movement of 1994.Trade Review"Gary H.

The University of Michigan Press Selma and the Liuzzo Murder Trials
Book SynopsisIn 1965 the drive for black voting rights in the south culminated in the epic Selma to Montgomery Freedom March. After brutal state police beatings stunned the nation on Bloody Sunday, troops under federal court order lined the route as the march finally made its way to the State Capitol and a triumphant address by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But within hours klan terror struck, claiming the life of one of the marchers, Viola Liuzzo, a Detroit mother of five. Turner offers an insider's view of the three trials that took place over the following nine monthswhich finally resulted in the conviction of the killers. Despite eyewitness testimony by an FBI informant who was riding in the car with the killers, two all-white state juries refused to convict. It took a team of Civil Rights Division lawyers, led by the legendary John Doar, to produce the landmark jury verdict that klansmen were no longer above the law. This is must reading today, as the voting rights won in Selma come under reneweTrade ReviewFifty years ago, American justice triumphed over the Alabama klan - thanks to the fearless work of the Civil Rights Division. Jim Turner's moving account reminds us that we can overcome the darkest attacks on human freedom, a lesson well worth remembering today as we confront new challenges to our basic civil rights."" - Deval Patrick, former Governor of Massachusetts and former Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights""Jim Turner recounts the true story of how a team of skilled federal lawyers accomplished the seemingly impossible - convicting the klansmen who murdered Viola Liuzzo in 1965 - a victory for honest, non-partisan civil rights enforcement that ended a hundred years of klan immunity to the sting of justice."" - Roy Reed, New York Times reporter who covered Selma and the Liuzzo trials""James P. Turner's compelling picture of state prosecutions marred by local prejudice and the successful federal prosecution in this landmark case is a timely reminder of why we need a strong Civil Rights Division in the U.S. Department of Justice when state law enforcement fails to protect our rights."" - Brian K.

The University of Michigan Press The Harvest of American Racism
Book SynopsisIn 1967, in response to demonstrations in cities across the US, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders was formed. The Commission employed social scientists to research the root causes of the disturbances. This first publication of the committee’s report reveals that many of the issues it describes are still with us.Trade ReviewIn the summer of 1967 the Kerner Commission hired a team of social scientists to explain the cause of the riots that had engulfed dozens of American cities. Their report, The Harvest Of American Racism, was so controversial that the commission staff ordered it destroyed. Now, Robert Shellow and his team have published Harvest, along with insightful and revealing essays that provide appropriate context and perspective. This is an important book that is as relevant today as it was five decades ago."" - Steven M. Gillon, University of Oklahoma""This seminal study from the 1960s provides a hard-hitting and insightful look at the roots of racial discrimination in the U.S. Jettisoned by the Kerner Commission for something less radical, this eye-opening analysis still speaks volumes in our current age."" - Julian E. Zelizer, Malcolm Stevenson Forbes, Class of 1941 Professor of History and Public Affairs, Princeton University; CNN Political Analyst, Co-Host, Politics and Polls""In 1968 the Kerner Commission concluded that cities across the nation had been erupting because blacks were frustrated with the slow pace of racial and economic equality. It turns out that the Commission had been presented with a far more radical analysis of those urban uprisings, in an extraordinary report called The Harvest of American Racism. This report was not only ignored, but actively suppressed. Now black rage is once again rocking our nation's major cities, and it is past time that we take a close look at what policymakers dismissed 50 years ago. As the Harvest report made clear, those who took to the streets in 1968 weren't merely frustrated and filled with despair. They were politically engaged, they believed that racial oppression's root causes must be addressed rather than its surface expressions, and they would never stop erupting until change really happened. The Harvest of American Racism is a must-read, as relevant today as it was 50 years ago."" - Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy

Book SynopsisThe Fourth Amendment forbids ‘unreasonable searches and seizures’ and is the source of most constitutional constraints on policing. In this book, Michael J.Z. Mannheimer calls for a reimagination of what modern policing could look like based on the original understandings of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.Trade Review“A new theory of the Fourth Amendment is born. Michael Mannheimer’s bracingly original understanding of the Fourth Amendment posits that the Framers saw it as necessarily tied to state law. He argues that courts should continue this interpretation. His defense of these propositions is utterly convincing.”—George Thomas, Rutgers Law School“This book provides an historical, ‘originalist’ grounding for the view that the Fourth Amendment, together with the Fourteenth Amendment, requires that police searches and seizures in every state be authorized by law and be applied even-handedly, but that otherwise state law, not federal constitutional law, should govern police investigations. No other author has as masterfully tied together the federalist underpinnings of the Fourth Amendment, the anti-discrimination aspects of the Fourteenth Amendment, and modern scholarship about the role democracy should play in regulating the police. This book will provoke not only new scholarship but innovative legal arguments in an era when the Supreme Court is increasingly interested in originalist interpretations.”—Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Professor of Law, Vanderbilt UniversityTable of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction: The Upside-Down Fourth Amendment PART I: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT: ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDINGS Chapter 1: Two Models of the Fourth Amendment Chapter 2: The Local-Control Model of the Fourth Amendment Chapter 3: The Anti-Federalists and the Fourth Amendment Chapter 4: Original Understandings and Fourth Amendment Search Doctrine Chapter 5: The Contingent Common Law of Searches and Arrests PART II: THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT: ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDINGS Chapter 6: The Historical Backdrop of the Fourteenth Amendment Chapter 7: Does the Fourteenth Amendment Incorporate the Fourth?

University of California Press Sal Si Puedes Escape If You Can
Book SynopsisIn the summer of 1968 Peter Matthiessen met Cesar Chavez for the first time. They were the same age: forty-one. Matthiessen lived in New York City, while Chavez lived in the Central Valley farm town of Delano, where the grape strike was unfolding. This book is Matthiessen's panoramic yet finely detailed account of the three years he spent working and traveling with Chavez, including to Sal Si Puedes, the San Jose barrio where Chavez began his organizing. Matthiessen provides a candid look into the many sides of this enigmatic and charismatic leader who lived by the laws of nonviolence. Sal Si Puedes is less reportage than living history. In its pages a whole era comes alive: the Chicano, Black Power, and antiwar movements; the browning of the labor movement; Chavez's fasts; the nationwide boycott of California grapes. When Chavez died in 1993, tens of thousands gathered at his funeral. It was a clear sign of how beloved he was and how important his life had been. A new foreword by Marc Grossman considers the significance of Chavez's legacy for our time. As well as serving as an indispensable guide to the 1960s, this book rejuvenates the extraordinary vitality of Chavez's life and spirit, giving his message a renewed and much-needed urgency.Trade Review""Cesar Chavez is gracefully revealed by Peter Matthiessen as a curiously private public figure who is in love with people," * Chicago Tribune *"The spirit and sense of la Huelga”—the California grape pickers' strike”—is conveyed with passionate clarity in this fine study of Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers' Organizing Committee. . . . There isn't any fuller or sharper reportage on this subject than is found here." * Kirkus Reviews *"No labor leader has ever been better served in a contemporaneous account than Cesar Chavez is in this book by Peter Matthiessen. . . . journalism at its finest." * Agricultural History *
