'This groundbreaking volume explores how citizenship is enacted and contested in the routines of everyday life. From parenting and migration to digital activism and urban space, it reveals how citizens resist, rework, and reimagine belonging and political agency in the face of neoliberalism, precarity, and rising authoritarianism.'John Dixon, Professor of Social Psychology, The Open University, UK'Studying the lived experiences of people in struggles over citizenship rights is crucial. This groundbreaking and highly anticipated contribution to the social psychology of citizenship examines how people are struggling for citizenship as a right to a socially and ecologically just society and reveals acts of citizenship as affective politics of the everyday.'Engin Isin, Professor Emeritus in International Politics, Queen Mary University of London'What constitutes citizenship has become a pressing issue all over the world as nation states increasingly tighten restrictions on who should belong. Unlike abstract theories of citizenship, this book examines this contested concept from the ground-up: from everyday understandings, experiences, and practices of citizens themselves. The Social Psychology of Citizenship provides a refreshing human dimension to the field of citizenship studies.'Martha Augoustinos, Professor Emerita at the University of Adelaide, Australia'The Social Psychology of Citizenship convincingly establishes social psychology’s potential to illuminate the subtle relational processes through which citizenship is experienced and enacted in the course of everyday life. Drawing from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, the contributors to this edited collection address a wide range of contemporary issues, documenting the various ways in which citizens strategically handle competing demands of neoliberal ideology in the course of their mundane social activities. In so doing, the authors shed new light on the political agency and subversive potential inherent in routine social interactions. This exciting and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for all social and political scientists concerned with the processes through which the lived experiences of citizenship are being shaped and transformed in the first quarter of the twenty first century.'Susan Condor, Professor Emeritus of Social Psychology, Loughborough University, UK
