Debates over who serves continue to arouse passion today because the military's participation policies are seen as shaping politics beyond the military, specifically the politics of identity and citizenship. Yet how and when do these policies transform patterns of citizenship? Military service, Ronald R. Krebs argues, can play a critical role in bolstering minorities' efforts to grasp full and unfettered rights. Minority groups have at times effectively contrasted their people's battlefield sacrifices to the reality of inequity, compelling state leaders to concede to their claims. At the same time, military service can shape when, for what, and how minorities have engaged in political activism in the quest for meaningful citizenship.Employing a range of rich primary materials, Krebs shows how the military's participation policies shaped Arab citizens' struggles for first-class citizenship in Israel from independence to the mid-1980s and African Americans' quest for civil rights, from World War I to the Korean War. Fighting for Rights helps us make sense of contemporary debates over gays in the military and over the virtues and dangers of liberal and communitarian visions for society. It suggests that rhetoric is more than just a weapon of the weak, that it is essential to political exchange, and that politics rests on a dual foundation of rationality and culture. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aSociology, Military$zUnited States 606 $aSociology, Military$zIsrael 606 $aCivil-military relations$zUnited States 606 $aCivil-military relations$zIsrael 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States 606 $aCitizenship$zIsrael 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xMinorities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociology, Military 615 0$aSociology, Military 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCitizenship 676 $a306.2/70973 700 $aKrebs$b Ronald R.$f1974-$0977441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459681503321 996 $aFighting for rights$92456344 997 $aUNINA
