New Citizenship Studies

Topics covered include New Citizenship Studies, an emergent methodology for reading the role of literature in the cultural making and unmaking of citizenship; the violent histories and imaginative possibilities of citizenship; theories of citizenship from the perspectives of groups who cannot presume the state’s protections; citizenship at the intersection of Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, and multiethnic U.S. literatures; and the forms of worldmaking and community that writers build as practitioners of political poiesis.
