The author examines the concept of “citizenship” and shows how the
definition of the concept and its scope have changed. “Citizenship”
entered the social science lexicon as a
code word for the capacity
of post-WWII capitalism to reform itself by providing formal, and
even a
modicum of substantive equality for those who were initially
at its losing end: workers or the “proletariat.” Citizenship connoted
rights and equality as counterforce to a
simultaneously wealth- and
inequality-producing capitalism. It was then generalized beyond
its original meaning as counter-concept to class, to other types of
equality-seeking movements. Citizenship thus became a
metaphor
and platform for intra-societal claims-making by excluded groups.
The author traces the development of citizenship in the altogether
different context of international migration, from being a
“right” to
something that needs to be “earned.”
