Lindsey N Kingston

Fully Human

Personhood, Citizenship, and Rights

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lindsey N. Kingston critically considers how inequalities related to citizenship and recognition impact one's ability to claim fundamental human rights. As a remedy, she proposes the ideal of "functioning citizenship," which requires an active and mutually-beneficial relationship between the state and the individual and necessitates the opening of political space for those who cannot be neatly categorized. Ultimately, Fully Human contends that we uncover limitations built into our current international system--but also begin to envision a path toward the realization of human rights norms founded on universality and inalienability.
