About this Publication:

(Un)thinking Citizenship brings new perspectives and insights about women’s lived experience to the body of existing literature on citizenship. It stimulates debate on issues of citizenship and includes perspectives on poverty, HIV/AIDS, political representation and violence against women. While books with a feminist perspective on different aspects of politics such as rights, voting behaviour, representation, and policy making have appeared, very few deal explicitly with theory. This book aims to make a contribution to theory building at the same time as incorporating empirical evidence.
