Description: "This collection of articles critically examines legal subjectivity and ideas of personhood and citizenship inherent in legal thought. The chapters offer novel perspectives on current debates in this area by exploring the connections between public and political issues as they intersect with more intimate sets of relations and private identities. Covering issues as diverse as autonomy, vulnerability and care, family and work, immigration control the institution of speech, and electoral qualifications and their right to vote, they provide a broader canvas upon which to comprehend more complex notions of citizenship, personhood, identity and belonging in law, in their various ramifications."--Preliminary page.
