520 Cities and Citizenship is a prize-winning collection of
essays that considers the importance of cities in the
making of modern citizens. For most of the modern era the
nation and not the city has been the principal domain of
citizenship. This volume demonstrates, however, that
cities are especially salient sites for examining the
current renegotiations of citizenship, democracy, and
national belonging. Just as relations between nations are
changing in the current phase of global capitalism, so too
are relations between nations and cities. Written by
internationally prominent scholars, the essays in Cities
and Citizenship propose that 'place' remains fundamental
to these changes and that cities are crucial places for
the development of new alignments of local and global
identity. Through case studies from Africa, Europe, Latin
America, and North America, the volume shows how cities
make manifest national and transnational realignments of
citizenship and how they generate new possibilities for
democratic politics that transform people as citizens.
Previously published as a special issue of Public Culture
that won the 1996 Best Single Issue of a Journal Award
from the Professional/Scholarly Publishing Division of the
Association of American Publishers, the collection
showcases a photo essay by Cristiano Mascaro, as well as
two new essays by James Holston and Thomas Bender
