In Latin America, this phenomenon has been linked to the emergence of social movements during the late 1970s and 1980s and efforts at democratization, especially in countries with authoritarian regimes. In the United States and in Europe, the assertion of multiculturalism and the struggle of ethnic minorities for recognition of their rights have been the main driving force for the development of citizenship as a powerful reference in that struggle.  \nIncreasingly adopted since the late 1980s and 1990s by Latin American popular movements, excluded sectors, trade unions, and left parties as a central element of their political strategies, the notion of citizenship has become a common reference among social movements such as those of women, blacks and ethnic minorities, homosexuals, retired and senior citizens, consumers, environmentalists, urban and rural workers, and groups organized around urban issues such as housing, health, education, unemployment, and violence (Foweraker, 1995; Alvarez, Dagnino, and Escobar, 1998) . These movements have found reference to citizenship not only a useful tool for their particular struggles but also a powerful articulating link among them. The general demand for equal rights embedded in the predominant conception of citizenship has been extended and specified in accordance with the demands in question. In this process of redefinition, strong emphasis has been placedon citizenship’s cultural dimension, incorporating contemporary concerns with subjectivities, identities, and the right to difference. Thus, on one hand, the construction of a new notion of citizenship has come to be seen as reaching far beyond the acquisition of legal rights, requiring the constitution of active social subjects identifying what they consider to be their rights and  \nEvelina Dagnino teaches in the Department of Political Science at the University of Campinas. Her work focuses on the relationship between culture and politics, social movements, democracy, and citizenship. She has coedited Cultures of Politics/Politics of Cultures (1998) and edited Sociedad civil, esfera pública y democratización en América Latina (2002) .

On the other hand, this cultural emphasis has asserted the need for a radical transformation of cultural practices that reproduce inequality and exclusion throughout society.  \nA substantial part of the attraction of citizenship and ofits core category of rights lies in the dual role it has been able to play in the debate among the various conceptions of democracy that characterize the contemporary political struggle in Latin America. On one hand, the struggle organized around the recognition and extension of rights has helped to make the argument for the expansion and deepening of democracy much more concrete. On the other hand, the reference to citizenship has provided common ground and anarticulatory principle for an immense diversity of social movements that have adopted the language of rights as a way of expressing their demands that helped them escape fragmentation and isolation. Thus the building of citizenship has been seen as at once a general struggle—for the expansion of democracy—that was able to incorporate a plurality of demands and a set of particular struggles for rights (housing, education, health, and so forth) whose success would expand democracy.  \nAs a result of its growing influence, the notion of citizenship has quickly become an object of dispute over its meaning.
