  • Citizenship and the Right of Entry into the Public Sphere Bernasconi, Robert 2019 Eco-ethica , Vol. 8 , S. 31 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 2186-4802 | 2578-3459 10.5840/ecoethica202032616 Abstract

    The emergence of citizenship out of subjecthood at the end of the eighteenth century presented a series of problems for which the United States, among other countries, seems to have been unprepared: it was unclear who qualified for citizenship, what privileges it afforded, and what duties it demanded. Nevertheless, this uncertainty could be manipulated pragmatically to take advantage of any given situation without regard for consistency or future implications. By examining the obstacles placed on the path to citizenship of Native Americans, African Americans, women, and Chinese Americans, this article shows how the (non-)category of the non-citizen was weaponized. Indeed the mistreatment of non-citizens becomes the best indication of the value of citizenship.
