Overview
- Explores how citizenship rights and discourses of who is a citizen and who is not are embedded in historical, economical and socio-cultural conditions and shaped by perceived or real threats to state security
- Bridges the gap between studies that focus either exclusively on the state or on narratives of everyday citizens
- Demonstrates how citizenship is forged at the local level, using active, oppositional, and extra-legal mechanisms

About this book
Reviews
“Dr. Campbell is a part of a new generation of Caribbean scholars who are deepening our understandings of the specific problems that bedevil development in Latin America and the Caribbean. In this book, Dr. Campbell tackles the central problem of many countries in LAC, that of the effects of security policies and practices on the lives of the marginalized. The neighborhood-level case studies are particularly revealing. There is a critical engagement with the security approaches of the state and a stout defense of the democratic rights of the marginalized as citizens.” (Anthony Harriott, Professor of Political Sociology, Director of the Institute of Criminal Justice and Security, University of the West Indies, Jamaica)
“This important and incisive work focuses on the realm of security to understand how class, space and race mediate citizenship. Connecting the perspectives of differently positioned Jamaican citizens to those of institutional actors, Yonique Campbell deftly analyzes the contemporary transformation and negotiation of state power and political belonging.” (Rivke Jaffe, Professor of Urban Geography, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
