Citizenship is a highly contested status since it grants members political rights and responsibilities. It is contextualized by cultural, political, historical, economic, situational, and place. In the United States, we think of citizenship in principle as democratic but citizenship is not just a binary status: norms, policies and laws can mark some citizens as "other". In The Good Citizen: The Markers of Privilege in America, Myers argues that being marked as not having or achieving these markers is how citizenship is controlled and regulated. To illustrate this argument, each chapter begins with a practical question or myth to ease the reader into the marker being examined. She later articulates the ways in which law and norms, and biopower regulates and controls citizens in three policy areas. Myers moves beyond theories of citizen marginalization based on identity politics and intersectionality to provide a new understandings of citizenship practice. The Good Citizen will be of interest to scholars and researchers of the politics, sociology, or legal studies of citizenship, and anyone concerned with distributive justice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Citizenship $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political participation $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Privilege (Social psychology) $z United States. 650 0 $a Social structure $z United States. 650 0 $a Distributive justice $z United States. 650 7 $a Citizenship $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861929 650 7 $a Distributive justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895621 650 7 $a Political participation $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069404 650 7 $a Privilege (Social psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982883 650 7 $a Social structure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123372 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Myers, JoAnne, $t The good citizen $b 1. $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781351006675 $w (DLC) 2019980739 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC545FC2586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
