This book discusses the issues of citizen rights, governance and political crisis in Brazil. The project has a focus on "citizenship in times of crisis, " i.e., seeking to understand how citizenship rights have changed since the Brazilian political and economic crisis that started in 2014. Building on theories of citizenship and governance, the author examines policy-based evidence on the retractions of participatory rights, which are consequence of a stagnant economic scenario and the re-organization of conservative sectors. This work will appeal to scholarly audiences interested in citizenship, Brazilian politics, and Latin American policy and governance.

The problem of citizenship has long affected Latin America, simultaneously producing inclusion and exclusion, division and unity. Its narrative and practice both reflect and contribute to the region's profound inequalities. However, citizenship is usually studied on the margins of society. Despite substantial public interest in recent mass mobilizations, the middle and upper classes are rarely approached as political agents or citizens. As the region's middle classes continue to grow and new elites develop, their importance can only increase. This interdisciplinary volume addresses this gap, showcasing recent ethnographic research on middle- and upper-class citizenship in contemporary Latin America. It explores how the region's middle and upper classes constitute themselves as citizens through politics and culture, and questions how these processes interact with the construction of difference and commonality, division and unity. Subsequently, this collection highlights how elite citizenships are constructed in dialogue with other identities, how these co-constructions reproduce or challenge inequality, and whether they have the potential to bring about change. Citizenship in the Latin American Upper and Middle Classes will appeal to scholars, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as Latin American Studies, Citizenship Studies, Political Science and Cultural Studies; and to a general readership interested in Latin American politics and society.

Citizenship and Disadvantaged Groups in Chile seeks to overcome an existing void in the literature of Latin American studies addressing the impact of Chile's post dictatorial legal framework on its historically and structurally disadvantaged groups, concentrating on the various issues and challenges that affect them. Within its eleven chapters it explores the changing social and legal status of LGBTI people, the political disenfranchisement and the social exclusion that affects imprisoned individuals, the harshness of policing on poor and marginalized communities, the deprivation of indigenous peoples of meaningful rights, the vulnerability that affects workers as a consequence of the existing model of labor relations, the disenfranchisement that affects migrants seeking economic opportunities, the denial of citizenship to women involved in the prohibition of abortion, the unsatisfactory regulation of sex work, the prevalence of domestic violence, and the absence of adequate means for disadvantaged groups to institutionalize their political representation. This book offers a distinctive contribution, focusing on a specific country in the Global South that is presently undergoing a process of economic consolidation while facing many of the problems of traditional and unequal Latin American societies.

This
• chapter introduces the main theoretical concepts, describes the primary field site for the study (the Tulancingo Valley of Mexico during and after Mexico's "democratic transition") and discusses the ethnographic methodology employed.
• 1Developing Rural Citizens: Old and New Liberalisms chapter abstract Mexico is considered part of a larger "Third Wave" of democratic transitions beginning in the late twentieth century. The growth of a "third sector" comprised of non-governmental organizations was promoted by both Mexican intellectuals and international observers as a laboratory for producing active democratic citizens. This chapter traces the historical development of the citizenship question in post-Independence Mexico, with particular attention to the ways in which rural denizens have been conceptualized as dependent subjects incapable of full participation in public life. It analyzes the ideal role of development NGOs in developing the capacity of marginalized groups to claim their rights as citizens and to participate in formal political processes, highlighting the complex relationships that develop in practice between these new organizational forms and earlier historical models of civic action and public morality.
• 2The Birth of Tulancingo's "Third Sector" chapter abstract This chapter examines the growth of Tulancingo's "third sector, " from its origins in the late 1970's until the end of the Fox administration, through a case study of "Hidalgo Development" (HD). Founded in 1978, the organization's history is representative of the far-reaching changes that the country has experienced during the last three decades of neoliberal reforms. HD was initially allowed to carry out select development projects that were seen by some factions of the PRI and officials in the national and state governments to be in their own interests, as those projects were aimed at ameliorating the rural poverty that had led to violent land invasions in other regions of Hidalgo. The historical development of Tulancingo's NGO sector reveals important insights into the relationships between NGOs and the political class with whom they must remain intimately but uncomfortably engaged.
• 3Withered Milpas: Rural Development after Neoliberalism chapter abstract In the 1990s, Mexican campesinos came to be regarded as iconic victims of structural adjustment and free trade policies under the Washington Consensus. In Hidalgo the synergistic effects of North American economic integration, the privatization and corporatization of Mexican agriculture, and global climate change created new forms of political, economic, and social risk. This chapter examines the way climatic anomalies and anthropogenic hazards intersected with newly generated forms of social vulnerability to create a governmental disaster that served to foreclose traditional collective forms of political agency. The disaster was interpreted locally through discourse of desiccation, which diagnosed the premature death of the countryside as a result of human failures to maintain systems of reciprocity. The erosion of collective rural institutions ultimately created new challenges for NGOs seeking to cultivate rural citizens.
• 4Mediating Dilemmas: Compromising NGO Work chapter abstract NGOs are accorded an important role in transforming the relationships between state and society, ostensibly producing new forms of citizenship distinct from traditional corporatism and clientelism. However, the way rural development NGOs operate-indeed, the role they attempt to create for themselves as existing somehow "in between" state, society, and market-remains closely tied to earlier historical forms of mediation. This chapter examines the relationship of Tulancingo NGOs to more traditional models of mediation associated with the clientelistic culture of the PRI, as well as newer entrepreneurial models promoted by global shifts in NGO management and international funding agendas. This chapter shows how Tulancingo NGO workers struggle to reconcile external pressures to act as self-interested entrepreneurs with an older moral order based on solidarity and reciprocity. Examining this complex relationship to past cultural forms reveals the limits that civil society institutions face in the neoliberal era.
• 5"Bridges of Love": Building North-South NGO Networks chapter abstract Relationships with international partners have become increasingly crucial to the survival of many Southern NGOs in a difficult political and economic climate. The chapter reconsiders some unexamined assumptions embedded in the network metaphors that animate contemporary social theory, elucidating how transnational networks are enacted by situated social subjects as they rework extant cultural forms for use in new contexts, in turn imbuing institutional relationships with new meaning and value. I examine how Hidalgan NGO workers perform the cultural work necessary to conceptualize, fix, and maintain the relationships between these disparate groups of campesinos, activists, and professionals, by reworking local notions of solidarity and reciprocity to produce a sense of transnational kinship. The quality and configuration of intersubjective ties matters deeply to how people experience and enact structural transformations. The difficulty and indeterminacy of this work contradicts theories of globalization that assume spontaneously self-generating networks.
• Conclusion chapter abstract Over the last decade and a half, the once-radical notion of civil society "participation" as a tool for deepening democratic citizenship in Mexico has been re-appropriated to further the neoliberal aims of reducing the social role of the state. The growth of the sector that has come to be known as "organized civil society" has produced deep tensions between an assistential mode of civic action and more radical transformative projects. This tension is marked by contrasting the frames of citizenship and philanthropy through which NGO personnel interpret and articulate their experiences. This final chapter discusses the broader implications of these developments for understanding how the NGO form acts as a quasi-object and what role NGOs play in the cultivation of citizenship practices in neoliberal democracies.

In late twentieth century Mexico, the NGO "boom" was hailed as an harbinger of social change and democratic transition, with NGOs poised to transform the relationship between states and civil society on a global scale. And yet, great as the expectations were for NGOs to empower the poor and disenfranchised, their work is rooted in much older civic and cultural traditions. Arguably, they are just as much an accomplice in neoliberal governance. Analiese Richard seeks to determine what the growth of NGOs means for the future of citizenship and activism in neoliberal democracies, where a widening chasm between rich and poor threatens democratic ideals and institutions. Analyzing the growth of NGOs in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, from the 1970s to the present, The Unsettled Sector explores the NGOs' evolving network of relationships with donors, target communities, international partners, state agencies, and political actors. It reaches beyond the campesinos and farmlands of Tulancingo to make sense of the NGO as an institutional form. Richard argues that only if we see NGOs as they are-bridges between formal politics and public morality-can we understand the opportunities and limits for social solidarity and citizenship in an era of neoliberal retrenchment.

"Les nouveaux manuels d'instruction morale et civique produits en Équateur durant la période libérale, de 1895 à 1925, accompagnent une révolution institutionnelle et pédagogique inédite : le régime libéral fonde une Instruction publique et laïque dans un pays où l'Église contrôlait jusqu'alors le système éducatif. Cet ouvrage cerne le projet du libéralisme équatorien à la lumière des manuels scolaires d'instruction morale et civique. Il montre que la révolution libérale entend créer une modernité politique reposant sur une révolution des mentalités, articulée autour de la laïcité. Il souligne aussi le rôle primordial de l'institution scolaire dans l'émergence d'une conscience nationale. Les nouveaux manuels d'instruction morale et civique contribuent à façonner l'identité nationale, " l'équatorianité ". Ils construisent des référents identitaires communs, diffusent les mythes fondateurs de la nation et donnent à lire un roman national épique et glorieux. Ils doivent non seulement unir des populations jugées comme hétérogènes, car divisées par des particularismes régionaux et ethniques ; ils doivent aussi pacifier des comportements soumis aux passions politiques et religieuses. La Révolution libérale de 1895 veut faire advenir un homme nouveau : un citoyen équatorien responsable et autonome."--Page 4 of cover.

Over the past 15 years, the citizenship debate in political and social theory has undergone an extraordinary renaissance. To date, much of the writing on citizenship, within and beyond Canada, has been oriented toward the development of theory, or has concentrated on contemporary issues and examples. This collection of essays adopts a different approach by contextualizing and historicizing the citizenship debate, through studies of various aspects of the rise of social citizenship in Canada. Focusing on the formative years from the late 19th through mid-20th century, contributors examine how emerging discourse and practices in diverse areas of Canadian social life created a widely engaged, but often deeply contested, vision of the new Canadian citizen. The original essays examine key developments in the fields of welfare, justice, health, childhood, family, immigration, education, labour, media, popular culture and recreation, highlighting the contradictory nature of Canadian citizenship. The implications of these projects for the daily lives of Canadians, their identities, and the forms of resistance that they mounted, are central themes. Contributing authors situate their historical accounts in both public and private domains, their analyses emphasizing the mutual permeability of state and civil(ian) life. These diverse investigations reveal that while Canadian citizenship conveys crucial images of identity, security, and participatory democracy within the ongoing project of nation building, it is also interlaced with the projects of a hierarchical social structure and exclusionary political order. This collection explores the origins and evolution of Canadian citizenship in historical context. It also introduces the more general dilemmas and debates in social history and political theory that inevitably inform these inquiries.

Puerto Ricans experience their citizenship and cultural nationalism within the context of an unincorporated territory in which they have limited participation in the legal framework devised to govern them. Drawing from in-depth interviews with a group of Puerto Ricans who requested a certificate of Puerto Rican citizenship, legal and historical documents, and official reports not publicly accessible, Jacqueline N. Font-Guzman shares how some Puerto Ricans construct and experience their citizenship and national identity at the margins of the US nation. The narratives shared in this book help us understand how citizenship construction can assert cultural national identity within colonial relationships. Moreover, discussing Puerto Rican identity as a necessity calls into the spotlight a discussion of the identity of U.S. citizens. What does it mean for a U.S. citizen to be seen as the 'Other'?

"En 1848, l'abolition de l'esclavage, par la Seconde République, a libéré des chaînes plus de 250 000 esclaves. Par l'application du suffrage universel, ceux des Antilles, de la Guyane et de la Réunion ont, en théorie, été dotés des mêmes droits civils et électoraux que tous les citoyens (masculins) de la métropole. La réalité a été fort différente. Ces citoyens colonisés sont longtemps restés soumis à un régime d'exception. Au Parlement, à Paris, leurs députés votaient des lois qui ne leur étaient pas applicables ! Le pouvoir exécutif et les gouverneurs locaux s'occupaient de leur sort. Comment, dans un pays construit sur une citoyenneté que l'on prétend universaliste et abstraite et qui ne cesse de le répéter a-t-on pu s'accommoder d'une telle contradiction ? L'histoire que nous raconte ce livre est celle de luttes et de rapports de forces. Une histoire de violences dont les anciens esclaves sont les protagonistes anonymes. Dans une société française dite "postcoloniale", l'auteur invite à méditer les fondements complexes de l'articulation entre citoyenneté, question sociale, histoire et "race"."--P. [4] of cover.

• The quest for grandma's passport : how and why Argentines get a second nationality
• Citizens, workers, voters : the consequences of plural citizenship
• Citizenship in an integrating world.

It is commonly assumed that there is an enduring link between individuals and their countries of citizenship. Plural citizenship is therefore viewed with skepticism, if not outright suspicion. But the effects of widespread global migration belie common assumptions, and the connection between individuals and the countries in which they live cannot always be so easily mapped. In The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martin analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dynamics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.

While in the days of the Cold War models of citizenship were relatively clear-cut around the contrasting projects of reform and revolution, in the last three decades Latin America has become a laboratory for comparative research. The region has witnessed both a renewal of electoral democracy and the diversification of experiments in citizen representation and participation. The implementation of neo-liberal policies has led to countervailing transformations in democratic citizenship and to the rise of populist leaderships, while the crisis of representation has been accompanied by new forms of participation, generating profound transformations. The authors analyze these recent trends, reflected in new forms of populism, inclusion and exclusion, participation and alternative models of democracy, social insecurity and violence, diasporas and transnationalism, the politics of justice and the politics of identity and multiculturalism.

The role of race in politics, citizenship, and the state is one of the most perplexing puzzles of modernity. While political thought has been slow to take up this puzzle, Diego von Vacano suggests that the tradition of Latin American and Hispanic political thought, which has long considered the place of mixed-race peoples throughout the Americas, is uniquely well-positioned to provide useful ways of thinking about the connections between race and citizenship. As he argues, debates in the United States about multiracial identity, the possibility of a post-racial world in the aftermath of Barack Obama, and demographic changes owed to the age of mass migration will inevitably have to confront the intellectual tradition related to racial admixture that comes to us from Latin America. Von Vacano compares the way that race is conceived across the writings of four thinkers, and across four different eras: the Spanish friar Bartolome de Las Casas writing in the context of empire; Simon Bolivar writing during the early republican period; Venezuelan sociologist Laureano Vallenilla Lanz on the role of race in nationalism; and Mexican philosopher Jose Vasconcelos writing on the aesthetic approach to racial identity during the cosmopolitan, post-national period. From this comparative and historical survey, von Vacano develops a concept of race as synthetic, fluid and dynamic - a concept that will have methodological, historical, and normative value for understanding race in other diverse societies.

"South America is not the poorest continent in the world, but it may very well be the most unjust." This statement by Ricardo Lagos, then president of Chile, at the Summit of the Americas in January 2004 captures nicely the dilemma that faces Latin American countries in the wake of the transition to democracy that swept across the continent in the last two decades of the twentieth century. While political rights are now available to citizens at unprecedented levels, social and economic rights lag far behind, and the fledgling democracies struggle with long legacies of poverty, inequality, and corruption. Key to understanding what is happening in Latin America today is the relationship between the state and civil society. In this ambitious book, Philip Oxhorn sets forth a theory of civil society adequate for explaining current developments in a way that such controversial neoconservative theories as Francis Fukuyama's liberal triumphalism or Samuel Huntington's "clash of civilizations" cannot. Inspired by the rich political sociology of an earlier era and the classic work of T. H. Marshall on citizenship, Oxhorn studies the process by which social groups are incorporated, or not, into national socioeconomic and political development through an approach that focuses on the "social construction of citizenship.".
