Descrizione

Figures of protection and security are everywhere in American public discourse, from the protection of privacy or civil liberties to the protection of marriage or the unborn, and from social security to homeland security. "Liberalism and the Culture of Security" traces a crucial paradox in historical and contemporary notions of citizenship: in a liberal democratic culture that imagines its citizens as self-reliant, autonomous, and inviolable, the truth is that claims for citizenship--particularly for marginalized groups such as women and slaves--have just as often been made in the name of vulnerability and helplessness.
