In this special issue, contributors examine a new approach to citizenship studies that is grounded in literary studies to offer a new insight into citizenship’s past, present, and future. Coined “New Citizenship Studies,” this emerging movement grapples with citizenship’s “both/and,” including citizenship’s political importance and limitations, as well as its violent histories and imaginative possibilities. Theorizing citizenship from the perspective of those who cannot presume the state’s protections, the authors center the voices, practices, and expressive cultures that legalistic understandings of citizenship tend to marginalize.
