The family remains a fundamental social, emotional, and economic unit, but it is undergoing change, especially in the European Union. Reimagining the Family explores contemporary films and literature about the effects of legal and illegal immigration on the structure and the stories of the contemporary "European"; family, with a focus on Germany. Multiple models, from nuclear to extended, local to transnational, encounter each other in statistics and in fictions. Narratives about work, love, generational difference, and conflicts among them alternately resist and embrace the influences of migration and immigration. Defining cosmopolitan identities in new and more inclusive ways, these stories of transnational families go beyond the demographic studies to expand the range of possibilities for understanding work, parenting, and citizenship in contemporary Europe.

In American Slavery, Irish Freedom, Angela F. Murphy examines the interactions among abolitionists, Irish nationalists, and American citizens as the issues of slavery and abolition complicated the first transatlantic movement for Irish independence. For Irish Americans, the call of Old World loyalties, perceived duties of American citizenship, and regional devotions collided as the slavery issue intertwined with their efforts on behalf of their homeland. By looking at the makeup and rhetoric of the American repeal associations, the pressures on Irish Americans applied by both abolitionists and American nativists, and the domestic and transatlantic political situation that helped to define the repealers' response to antislavery appeals, Murphy investigates and explains why many Irish Americans did not support abolitionism.

"The events of May 2008 in which 62 people were killed simply for being 'foreign' and thousands were turned overnight into refugees shook the South African nation. This book is the first to attempt a comprehensive and rigorous explanation for those horrific events. It argues that xenophobia should be understood as a political discourse and practice. As such its historical development as well as the conditions of its existence must be elucidated in terms of the practices and prescriptions which structure the field of politics. In South Africa, the history of xenophobia is intimately connected to the manner in which citizenship has been conceived and fought over during the past fifty years at least ..."--Back cover.

Socialism and the Common Good brings together a set of writings by some of the leading social and political thinkers at work in Britain today. Its object is to place before the public some seminal discussions of a central theme which is both theoretical and practical, namely the role of the state in achieving social justice in modern market systems from a socialist perspective. These essays touch many subjects, such as state ownership, collectivism, communitarianism, individualism, equality, citizenship, and national identity. Is state ownership essential to the common good? Is it only one among many possible means of securing social justice? Is communitarianism a threat to civil liberty? Is it, by contrast, a necessary condition for efficacy and fairness?

In Guatemala and Ecuador—two nations with large Indigenous populations—public health professionals and government officials attributed high incidences of infectious disease among indígenas (Indigenous people) to culture and customs rather than to structural determinants of abject poverty. Race played as much of a role as medical science in shaping how public health officials approached infectious-contagious diseases and the indígenas who contracted them in the first half of the twentieth century. To disparage indígenas and undermine their claims to citizenship, Guatemalan and Ecuadorian public health officials deployed cultural essentialism and hygienic determinism, by which I mean efforts to portray marginalized populations, particularly their practices and habits, as sources and propagators of diseases that compromise public health and ravage those same marginalizedpopulations.

AbstractThe Chinese government's ambitious plans to modernize the countryside have significant impacts for rural populations. Upgrading or relocating villages is one component of this vision with profound implications for rural citizens. We use multiple social science research methods to investigate ongoing rural transformation in two villages designated for Village Redesign in Anhui Province, China. We show that the Village Redesign process is negatively impacting on the migration–development nexus and the resultant limbo deepens the precarity of high‐mobility, translocal households who already experience secondary forms of citizenship and limited social protections. This study raises further questions about the ongoing transformation of rural China and questions the modernizing rural agenda of the Chinese state.

This article provides a reflection on the rights of minors after the New York Convention of 1989 and its entry into force. The international legal system, as well as the European one, recognizes important rights of minors, guaranteeing them an increasing autonomy in accordance with their ability to evolve. The primary aspect of the Convention is constituted by the superior principle of the child, which must be taken into account first and foremost in any situation involving minors, and not only in proceedings concerning them. After a reflective argumentation, the paper concludes with the hope that new educational policies will be devised among EU states that would be able to develop strategies so that every minor, without exceptions, can exercise their right to citizenship.

This paper aims to analyse the cross-border connectivity of the Moken (also known as Sea Nomads or Sea Gypsies), who lived on the islands and coastlines of the Thai-Myanmar borderland. This paper argues on the way the Moken have been negotiating the ongoing presence of a common cross-border ethnic identity, by using these aspects of their existing ethnicity and their enduring cross-border movements within the ethnic circle. They have somehow convinced government officials that they are not breaking the law when crossing the border in this way, even though many of these same officials fail to recognise their right to citizenship, land or fisheries ownership, and other basic human rights.

In this essay, I ask: Who has the power to theorize? And how do we challenge narrow understandings of what counts as theories, theorists, and theorizing? I draw on alternative intellectual histories—feminist, intersectional, interpretive, and decolonial—that are attentive to expanded definitions of the political within and beyond the Western world and to the internal diversity of often taken-for-granted categories of analysis. Next, I show how these intellectual histories open up the space for Gendered Citizenship by briefly outlining the main concepts of the book and their significance for political science. In this section, I also respond to the contributors to this symposium. I am grateful to Dipali Anumol, Lisa Beard, and Denise Walsh for their thoughtful and careful commentaries.
