Citizenship

In this volume from the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Dimitry Kochenov critically examines the modern concept of citizenship, challenging its often idealized portrayal of liberation and dignity. He explores the origins, key elements, and evolving role of citizenship worldwide, highlighting issues of inequality, inclusion, and the potential for exclusion. Kochenov reveals that, despite its promising ideals, citizenship can also serve as a tool for division and marginalization.
