Citizenship: Feminist Perspectives

Citizenship: Feminist Perspectives

by RuthLister (Author)

Synopsis

This book is an important contribution to the general literature on citizenship. It draws on a range of disciplines to address theoretical and policy dilemmas in the construction of women's citizenship. Traditional thinking about citizenship is recast to embrace both rights and political participation in the development of a 'woman-friendly' theory and praxis of citizenship, challenging conventional dichotomies and taking account of the differences between women. The barriers to women's full citizenship are explored, together with strategies for overcoming them.

Miwa has earned quite a name for himself in Japan for his brilliant but biting iconoclastic views. Now, Western readers will learn what the fuss has been about. Self-styled authorities on the Japanese economy will squirm, for Miwa takes no prisoners; his logic is relentless, merciless and-- inevitably--right. -J. Mark Ramseyer, University of Chicago Law School


This is a monumental work, demystifying the Japanese economy and contesting the conventional view that Japan is different.' In doing so, Miwa paves the way for a new era of comparative study. -Kazuo Koike, Hosei University, Tokyo
