Building on feminist and anti-racist intersectional approaches, it examines citizenship, nationhood, religion, cosmopolitanism, and care as political domains where power, rights, identification, and “the gaze” operate. Situating these struggles in global and local contexts, the analysis traces links between nationalism, racism, imperialism, neo-liberal globalization, and ethno-national governance, while clarifying the differential effects on members of collectivities and communities.","I n t e r s e c t i o n a l C o n t e s t a t i o n s  \nNira Yuval-Davis  \ncare  \nrights  \nneo liberal  \npower  \nidentifications  \nsituated  \ngaze  \nself  \nways  \nwhile  \nworld  \nthe Politics of Belonging  \nthe Politics of Belonging  \nI n t e r s e c t i o n a l C o n t e s t a t i o n s  \nNira Yuval-Davis  \n© Nira Yuval-Davis 2011  \nFirst published 2011  \nApart from any fair dealing for the purposes of research or private study, or criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, this publication may be reproduced, stored or transmitted in any form, or by any means, only with the prior permission in writing of the publishers, or in the case of reprographic reproduction, in accordance with the terms of licences issued by the Copyright Licensing Agency.

In a way it is both a continuation and a transformation of the project for that book. I have always approached the issues of gender and gender relations intersectionally (e.g. Yuval-Davis, 1980; Anthias & Yuval-Davis, 1983), given my anti-racist, socialist version of feminist political commitment. More recently, however, it became clear to me that the intersectional approach needs to be adopted in much wider circles than those of Women’s and Gender Studies alone. In the introduction to this book I quote Lesley McCall’s (2005) assertion that to date intersectionality has been feminist theory’s most important theoretical contribution to related fields. I recently published an article on intersectionality and stratification (Yuval-Davis, 2011a), arguing that sociological stratification theory should adopt intersectionality as its major theoretical/methodological perspective in the ways that other disciplines, like critical legal theory and social policy, have started to do. In this book, therefore, gendered analysis is only one of the major axes of its intersectional approach (although feminism as a political project is highlighted throughout) .1  \nSimilarly, nationalisms and nations. Growing up in Israel and coming to oppose the Zionist political project and its (anti-)humanitarian effects, I realized early on how central nationalist thinking is in various local and global social orders. However, I came early on in my development as a social scientist to denaturalize and deconstruct nationalisms and to examine their links with racisms, imperialisms and, more recently, neo-liberal globalization. This was deeply affected by my growing understanding of the nature of the links between the so-called‘Jewish proble","cbCaii4wd4TXcBMv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii4wd4TXcBMv","pdf",3056158,6,1,265,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n# Introduction: Framing the Questions\n# The Citizenship Question: of the State and Beyond\n# The National Question: from the Indigenous to the Diasporic\n# The Religious Question: the Sacred, the Cultural and the Political\n# The Cosmopolitan Question: Situating the Human and Human Rights\n# The Caring Question: the Emotional and the Political\n# Concluding Remarks\n# Bibliography\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"What framework does the book use to analyze belonging?\",\"answer\":\"It applies an intersectional approach to examine how gendered analysis and identity relations intersect with wider political projects of belonging.\"},{\"question\":\"Which political domains are discussed as “questions” in the book?\",\"answer\":\"Citizenship, nationhood, religion, cosmopolitanism, and care are each treated as major contested political questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book connect political projects of belonging to power and rights?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that belonging is always situated and multi-layered, shaping and being shaped by power, rights, identification practices, and governing arrangements across local and global contexts.\"}]","The Politics of Belonging -
