Description
Prominent feminist scholars reflect on where the boundaries of citizenship are being redrawn and what are the arenas of conflict in East and West Europe, the US and Australia. The authors confront the multiple dilemmas in engendering citizenship through the mosaic of gender identities where race, ethnicity, class and sexual preference come into play. The essays track gendered citizenship transitions in postcommunism and Europolitics. They reveal the contested terrain around citizenship and care and imagine a new gender order after the demise of the family wage.
