The Quest for Inclusion

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A short but very potent exploration of the actual meaning of citizenship for Americans...A spirited defense of the highly privatized vision of politics which is certainly the norm in America. International Journal of Comparative Sociology Shklar has produced a compelling argument that the right to vote and the right to a job, neither of which was written into the constitution, are nevertheless necessary for full and equal American citizenship. Washington Monthly As always, one learns from reading Shklar...The book provides an excellent interpretation of what American citizenship has meant historically. Political Science Quarterly

Reseña del editor:

In this look at what constitutes American citizenship, Judith Shklar identifies the right to vote and the right to work as the defining social rights and primary source of public respect. She demonstrates that in recent years, although all profess their devotion to the work ethic, earning remains unavailable to many who feel and are consequently treated as less than full citizens.
