Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket Edition: First Edition Hard boards with gray lettering on spine and cover. Excellent condition with an unclipped DJ, this book looks like it has never been read. "More and more, as the globe turns into a billboard for corporate propagation, the nature of citizenship is becoming skewed. For the cellphone-brandishing inhabitants of a world carved up into markets and territories determined by production and consumption, transcending the traditional boundaries of nation-states, what does it mean to be a citizen? In The World We Want, Mark Kingwell explores the idea of citizenship in the current post-national context, arguing that old ideas of civic belonging, historically tied to blood, belief and law, need to be reconceived. What happens to political responsibility in an age of fractured identities, global monoculture, and crumbling civic nationalism? How do we make sense of a situation where the uniform spread of cola, television and market rationalism is accompanied by resurgent ethnic hatreds?" ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 252 pages
