Citizenship as cultural: Towards a theory of cultural citizenship

Traditional notions of citizenship have focused on formal membership , including access to rights, in a national community. More recent scholarship has expanded this definition beyond citizenship as a legal status to focus on struggles for societal inclusion of and justice for marginalized populations, citizenship as both a social and symbolic boundary of exclusion, and post‐colonial and post‐ national citizenship. In this article, I review conceptions of citizenship that involve more than legal rights. After reviewing this scholarship, I discuss the theoretical framework of cultural citizenship – a move to center the cultural underpinnings of modern citizenship in analyses of citizenship as a boundary of inclusion and exclusion. I use the example of France as one site to locate the connections between citizenship and culture and the cultural underpinnings and implications of citizenship more broadly.

Based on 45 interviews in the Paris metropolitan area, I focus on the middle-class segment of France’s North African second-generation and use the framework of cultural citizenship to explain why these individuals continue to experience symbolic exclusion despite their attainment of a middle-class status. Even though they are successful in terms of professional and educational accomplishments and are assimilated by traditional measures, they nonetheless feel excluded from mainstream French society. Because of this exclusion, they do not feel they are perceived as full citizens. I also discuss how this segment of France’s second-generation draws boundaries around being French and how they relate to these boundaries. Despite their citizenship and their ties to France, they are often perceived as foreigners and have their ‘Frenchness’ contested by their compatriots. I argue they are denied cultural citizenship, because of their North African ethnic origin, which would allow them to be accepted by others as part of France. Applying cultural citizenship as an analytical framework provides an understanding of the socio-cultural realities of being a minority and reveals how citizenship operates in everyday life.

In the past few years, both assimilationist and multiculturalist approaches to the management of immigration and diversity have been called into question. This article is an attempt to critically review and examine the key points of the debate regarding assimilationism and multiculturalism, while arguing for an interculturalist model of socio-cultural incorporation that reconciles cultural diversity with social cohesion. This paper looks at both European and North American cases and contends that when support for diversity occurs within a framework of social justice and political equality, and when all members of society are permitted to fully participate in the public space, the result is a more cohesive, albeit plural, civic community.

"This article considers the relationship between ethnic and racial minority rights and citizenship in Asia. The most ethnically divided and populous region in the world, Asia is home to some of the most contrasting state responses to ethnic minority assertions of diversity and difference. Asia is also awash with wide-ranging claims by geographically-dispersed ethnic minorities to full and equal citizenship. In exploring the relationship between ethnic minority rights claims and citizenship in Asia, this article considers the relevance of certain core assumptions in Western-dominated citizenship theory to Asian experiences. The aim is to look beyond absolutist West-East and civic-ethnic bifurcations to consider more constructive questions about what Asian and Western models might learn from one another in approaching minority citizenship issues."

France is known today as possessing the largest concentration of Muslims in Europe, a community for the majority of Maghrebin origin, amounting to about 6 to 8 percent of the country’s residents (Hargreaves et al, 2007; Gray, 2008; d’Appolonia 2009). Amid the recent terrorist attacks claimed by ISIS, and the Front National’s nativist discourse, Islamophobia in France is on the rise and Muslims are described as “ethno-racial outsiders” and framed as a challenge to the identity of the French republic (Nossiter, 2015; Bleich 2006, p.3). Islam in France has long been a source of scholarly and popular interest, especially questioning the integration of French Muslims into the mainstream society (Bleich 2006, 2009; de Galembert, 2005). Studies over discourse on banning the hijab or the law banning conspicuous religious symbols in France, have shown that part of the French society believes French Muslims to threaten the identity of the Republic, as well as, illustrate a belief that being French is not compatible with being a Muslim (El Hamel, 2002; Fernando, 2005). Despite their own personal degree of identification as a Muslim, the media and the popular French culture tends to stigmatize individuals of Maghrebin origin as Muslims, in part because of Islam being the dominant religion in the Maghreb (Alba and Silberman 2002; Hargreaves et al, 2007; Brubaker, 2013). This thesis consequently follows a discourse analysis focused on the debate around the burkini ban in two major French newspapers, Le Monde and Le Figaro, the two biggest French daily newspapers. The focus will be on France’s citizens of Maghrebin origins, and the aim is to use a discourse analysis and the framework of cultural citizenship to explain why these individuals are stigmatized and still marginalized from mainstream French society. My hypothesis is that French citizens of Maghrebin origins are denied cultural citizenship, because of stereotypes and stigmas related to their ethnic origins and religion. As a result, my thesis asks why are France’s citizens of Maghrebin origins denied cultural citizenship and excluded from today’s mainstream French society?

Building on ethno-surveys and multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted in New York, Paris and Barcelona; this chapter discusses immigrant representation, ethnic organizations, urban citizenship rights and minority political participation in these cities. It describes how organizations and institutions differently mediate immigrant political incorporation, social integration and structural assimilation given the different social, political and institutional contexts of each city.

Ethnic and Racial Studies

Ya-Han Chuang , Helene Lebail

This article examines the collective actions undertaken by two groups of Chinese female migrants in Paris: sex workers who opposed a new law on prostitution, and manicurists who joined trade unions and went on strike. These women share similar geographical origins and migration projects; many came to France alone, and thus have much weaker social capital than other Chinese migrants in Paris, which pushed them to choose professional sectors viewed as marginal or even stigmatized. Despite their precarious situation, their marginal position has created conditions for collective action, enabling them to develop strong sense of collective belonging and receive support from organizations outside the community. These findings show how a marginal position in an ethnic community can be a triggering factor for migrants’ inclusion and political engagement in the host society.

Fifty years of large-scale immigration has brought significant ethnic, racial, and religious diversity to North America and Western Europe, but has also prompted hostile backlashes. In Fear, Anxiety, and National Identity, a distinguished multidisciplinary group of scholars examine whether and how immigrants and their offspring have been included in the prevailing national identity in the societies where they now live and to what extent they remain perpetual foreigners in the eyes of the long-established native-born. What specific social forces in each country account for the barriers immigrants and their children face, and how do anxieties about immigrant integration and national identity differ on the two sides of the Atlantic? Western European countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom have witnessed a significant increase in Muslim immigrants, which has given rise to nativist groups that question their belonging. Contributors Thomas Faist and Christian Ulbricht discuss how German politicians have implicitly compared the purported “backward” values of Muslim immigrants with the German idea of Leitkultur, or a society that values civil liberties and human rights, reinforcing the symbolic exclusion of Muslim immigrants. Similarly, Marieke Slootman and Jan Willem Duyvendak find that in the Netherlands, the conception of citizenship has shifted to focus less on political rights and duties and more on cultural norms and values. In this context, Turkish and Moroccan Muslim immigrants face increasing pressure to adopt “Dutch” culture, yet are simultaneously portrayed as having regressive views on gender and sexuality that make them unable to assimilate. Religion is less of a barrier to immigrants’ inclusion in the United States, where instead undocumented status drives much of the political and social marginalization of immigrants. As Mary C. Waters and Philip Kasinitz note, undocumented immigrants in the United States. are ineligible for the services and freedoms that citizens take for granted and often live in fear of detention and deportation. Yet, as Irene Bloemraad points out, Americans’ conception of national identity expanded to be more inclusive of immigrants and their children with political mobilization and changes in law, institutions, and culture in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement. Canadians’ views also dramatically expanded in recent decades, with multiculturalism now an important part of their national identity, in contrast to Europeans’ fear that diversity undermines national solidarity. With immigration to North America and Western Europe a continuing reality, each region will have to confront anti-immigrant sentiments that create barriers for and threaten the inclusion of newcomers. Fear, Anxiety, and National Identity investigates the multifaceted connections among immigration, belonging, and citizenship, and provides new ways of thinking about national identity.

Citizenship by Sian Lazar LAST MODIFIED: 28 August 2019 DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199766567-0222

At its most fundamental, citizenship means political belonging, and to study citizenship is to study how we live with others in a political community. Anthropological work on the theme of citizenship tends to break open the classic version of citizenship as a universal legal status belonging to citizens of a given nation-state. Instead, it recognizes the differentiated nature of political membership, and the ways that citizenship acts as an ordering and disciplining device as well as a mechanism for making claims upon different kinds of political communities. These may include the state but they are not limited to it. In dialogue with political theorists, anthropologists of citizenship have argued that the constitution of any given community requires a considerable amount of work, and that meaningful membership is more than the possession of rights and responsibilities. Citizenship may be formal or substantive, full or partial, and it is always under construction, as citizens and noncitizens claim inclusion and effective participation in political life. That may be articulated through languages of rights but may also be conducted—and contested—through other kinds of everyday or insurgent political practices. One of the main focuses of ethnographic study of the practices of citizenship has therefore been on how people relate to the state, bringing out the relationship between people and state bureaucracies and between people and law. Another aspect is the scale at which relevant political communities operate, as anthropologists have added to the discussion of national citizenship with studies of cosmopolitan, transnational, or global citizenships and of local, city-based formations. Citizenship is a complex bundle of practices of encounter between the state and citizens at different scales or levels. Because citizenship practices are also the means by which societies organize inclusion and exclusion, the figure of the noncitizen is crucial to the construction of citizenship. Noncitizens might be conceptualized as strangers, migrants, or refugees, and these individuals always raise questions about the definitions of political communities and their borders. Central to all these processes of inclusion, exclusion, encounter, and claims-making is the way that people (citizens and noncitizens) build their own political agency and subjecthood under what constraints and in what realms of life, including the most intimate.

Citizenship is a combination of practice and status. Two traditions can be identified within the political theory of citizenship—liberal and civic republican—that continue to be crucial today. Civic republican traditions draw on Aristotelian and other discussions of Greek democracy and Rousseauian notions of the general will, and they can be traced through some of the colonial traditions of Latin America, as well as Arendtian ideas about belonging. Liberal traditions exist in tension with these, and can be seen especially in a trajectory that goes back to Locke via the French and American declarations of the rights of man—and associated declarations of the rights of women. Other independence declarations and constitutions, such as the Second Constitution of Haiti, mix the two sets of values, as described in Lazar 2013 . The liberal tradition of citizenship theorization has been most effectively stated in Marshall 1983 , which works both as a summary of that tradition and, for many thinkers, as a conceptual outline for how to understand citizenship. Anthropologists, in works such as Rosaldo 1994 and Ong 1996 , first worked explicitly with concepts of citizenship through ideas of culture and cultural citizenship, which led to the fleshing out of the idea that citizenship is a practice and a process of political belonging and participation in political life, not just a status of the possession of particular rights, as outlined in Holston 1999 . That approach in exploring citizenship in various ways is found in recent journal special issues on citizenship: Lazar and Nuijten 2013 examines citizenship as political agency and self-making, while de Koning, et al. 2015 explores it as membership of political communities beyond the nation-state. Stolcke 1995 and Clarke, et al. 2013 show how culture remains a field of concern for the anthropology of citizenship.

DOI: 10.1111/cuan.12014

This is a set of articles that discusses cultural citizenship in the black Atlantic world, emphasizing an interpretation of citizenship as lying beyond the nation-state and political spheres. The three articles cover religion and tourism, Cuba, Trinidad, and Ghana. Altogether they explore the heterogeneity of blackness and the ways that membership in political communities are defined and claimed. The introduction gives a useful overview of the concept of cultural citizenship.

de Koning, Anouk, Rivke Jaffe, and Martijn Koster, eds. 2015. Special issue: Citizenship agendas in and beyond the nation-state. Citizenship Studies 19.5.

Discusses citizenship agendas, defined as normative framings of citizenship, for example the “good citizen.” Suggests that these operate both within and beyond the nation in articulation with nonstate and state actors. The introduction provides a thorough study of recent scholarship on citizenship, and articles cover elections in Jamaica, youth policies and social housing in the Netherlands, civic disputes over Muslim sound in the United States, intergenerational conflict and vigilantism in Guatemala, and urban space in Beirut.

Holston, James. 1999. Spaces of insurgent citizenship. In Cities and citizenship . Edited by James Holston, 155–173. Durham, NC: Duke Univ. Press.

Early discussion from one of the leading anthropologists of citizenship, emphasizing the agency of people claiming citizenship in multiple, “insurgent,” ways. Proposes a distinction between formal and substantive citizenship, where formal citizenship is the set of formal rights that citizens have as citizens, while substantive citizenship is the extent to which they actually enjoy those rights.

Lazar, Sian. 2013. Introduction. In The anthropology of citizenship: A reader . Edited by Sian Lazar, 25–26. Malden, MA: Blackwell-Wiley.

An essay on the development of ideas about citizenship in anthropology. It begins with a political genealogy of the anthropology of citizenship by outlining the two traditions out of which it emerged, within political anthropology and political philosophy of citizenship. The essay then introduces the extracts collected in the reader and assesses the dominant themes within the anthropology of citizenship.

Lazar, Sian, and Monique Nuijten, eds. 2013. Special issue: Citizenship, the self, and political agency. Critique of Anthropology 33.1.

This collection of articles explores the processes and practices that make someone into a full member of a given political community and, thus, how citizenship is experienced in particular contexts. If citizenship turns on the ability of citizens to affect politics, doing so relies upon both the structural conditions for the realization of full citizenship and the self-creation of citizens as full, good, or active citizens. Articles discuss these processes of political agency and citizen-making in Brazil, South Africa, Bolivia, Mexico, India, and Argentina.

Marshall, T. H. 1983. Citizenship and social class. In States and societies . Edited by David Held, 248–260. Oxford: Basil Blackwell.

Originally published in 1950. A foundational essay that provides a classic kiberal position on citizenship, arguing that in the UK citizenship developed with the progressive realisation of civic, political, and, with the advent of the welfare state, social rights. Views citizenship as a property of the person, a kind of basket of rights and responsibilities that goes along with the status of membership in the national community.

Ong, Aihwa. 1996. Cultural citizenship as subject-making: Immigrants negotiate racial and cultural boundaries in the United States [and comments and reply]. Current Anthropology 37.5: 737–762.

DOI: 10.1086/204560

Builds on Rosaldo’s notion of cultural citizenship to explore in more detail processes by which rights are culturally ascribed and to move beyond the idea that citizenship can unproblematically be claimed. The article describes how two sets of immigrants to the San Francisco Bay area become citizens, through processes that are not entirely of their own making, and especially in relation to their interaction with state agents. This notion is developed further in Ong 1999 (cited under Citizenship beyond the Nation: Transnational, Diasporic, and Stateless Citizenships ).

Rosaldo, Renato. 1994. Cultural citizenship in San Jose, California. PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review 17.2: 57–64.

DOI: 10.1525/pol.1994.17.2.57

An early discussion of cultural citizenship. Emphasizes citizenship as participation in democratic processes, and shows how racial difference undermines the idea that citizenship is a universal and equal quality possessed by all those with the same formal status. Explores ethnographically the difference between first- and second-class citizenship, or full and partial citizenship, among Latinxs in the United States, and stresses that citizenship is about how people claim rights.

Stolcke, Verena. 1995. Talking culture: New boundaries, New rhetorics of exclusion in Europe. Current Anthropology 36.1: 1–24.

DOI: 10.1086/204339

Discusses the ways that the political right in Europe has developed a political rhetoric of exclusion of immigrants from outside of Europe on the basis of cultural difference. Although seemingly just a new way of articulating racism, Stolcke argues that, at its heart, it constitutes a proposal that humans tend to reject strangers, because different cultures cannot communicate across the boundaries between them. Although based on a lecture from 1993, this article is remarkably apt for the present conjuncture.
