Description

The second edition of this classic text substantially revises and extends the original, takes account of theoretical and policy developments, and enhances its international scope. Drawing on a range of disciplines and literatures, the book provides an unusually broad account of citizenship. It recasts traditional thinking about the concept and pinpoints important theoretical issues and their political and policy implications for women. Themes of inclusion and exclusion (at national and international levels), rights and participation, inequality and difference, are thus all brought to the fore in the development of a woman-friendly, gender-inclusive, theory and praxis of citizenship. Wide-ranging, stimulating and accessible, this is a ground-breaking book that provides new insights for both theory and policy.

Ruth Lister is Professor of Social Policy at Loughsborough University in England. She was formerly Director of the Child Poverty Action Group.

Her book does a marvelous job of bringing together a wide variety of literature on citizenshipliteratures that are currently confined to very separate boxesand reaching a brand new synthesis on women's citizenship."--Jane Lewis, Oxford University "Lister's Citizenship makes a valuable contribution to the discourse on gender and citizenship. . . . A very rich text that serves as a comprehensive introduction for anyone interested in these issues, while also providing nuanced arguments that will be of interest to scholars and policy makers."--Ethics
