The Situated Politics of Belonging

Edited by:


August 2006 | 248 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
This collection of essays examines the racialized and gendered effects of contemporary politics of belonging, issues which lie at the heart of contemporary political and social lives. It encompasses critical questions of identity and citizenship, inclusion and exclusion, emotional attachments, violent conflicts and local/global relationships. The range – geographically, thematically and theoretically - covered by the chapters reflects current concerns in the world today. A timely contribution to the ongoing debates in the field, it will be a valuable companion to scholars working in the areas of multiculturalism, globalization and culture, race and ethnic studies, gender studies and studies of post-partition societies.

Nira Yuval-Davis, Kalpana Kannabiran and Ulrike M Vieten
