This book sheds new light on gender-based inequalities in a
globalized world. Interdisciplinary in scope, it reveals new
avenues of research on gendered citizenship, analysing
the possibilities and pitfalls of being represented and of
representing someone. Drawing on contexts both historical and
contemporary, it queries what it means to have access to
representation, which power structures regulate and produce
representation, and who counts as a citizen. Situating its
arguments in the global struggle for hegemony, it answers such
thought-provoking questions as whether one can represent someone
or be represented without recourse to citizenship and,
conversely, whether it is possible to be a citizen if one does
not have access to representation. This engaging edited
collection will appeal to students and scholars
of sociology, social anthropology, history, media studies,
political science, literature, gender studies and cultural
studies.
