Constructing Modern Asian Citizenship (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Vickers, Edward; Kumar, Krishna

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents analyses of a range of contemporary projects of citizenship formation across Asia in order to identify those issues and concerns most central to Asian debates over the construction of modern identities. The book main focus is on schooling, but also features other vehicles for citizenship-formation, such as museums and the internet; the role of religion (in particular Islam) in debates over citizenship and identity in certain Asian societies; and the relationship between state-centred identity discourses and the experience of increasingly 'globalized' elites.
