Omschrijving
Sophisticated and fresh, Neocitizenship breathes new life into the discourse on neoliberalism. Cherniavskys provocative study of the emergence of new political subjectivities amid the decline of the nation-state as a guarantor of rights and a repository of popular sovereignty will galvanize conversations around neoliberalism, citizenship, and affective economies. This is a book certain to generate a great deal of heat as well as light.

Neocitizenshipis an alarming look into a future in which the neoliberal democratic system has fallen apart.
I highly recommend this book to readers in American studies, cultural studies, and political theory.
