Citizenship is a powerful analytical tool to approach political life in contemporary Africa because the institutional and structural reforms of the past two decades have been inextricably linked with the battle over the 'right to have rights'. Professor Lahra Smith's work advances the notion of meaningful citizenship, referring to the ways in which rights are exercised, or the effective practice of citizenship. Using data from Ethiopia and developing a historically informed study of language policy, ethnicity and gender identities, Smith analyzes the contestation over citizenship that engages the state, social movements and individuals in substantive ways. By combining original data on language policy in contemporary Ethiopia with detailed historical study and a focus on ethnicity, citizenship and gender, this work brings a fresh approach to Ethiopian political development and contemporary citizenship concerns across Africa. 410 0$aAfrican studies series ;$v125. 606 $aCitizenship$xSocial aspects$zEthiopia 606 $aPolitical participation$xSocial aspects$zEthiopia 606 $aLanguage policy$zEthiopia 607 $aEthiopia$xPolitics and government$y1991- 607 $aNational characteristics, Ethiopian 615 0$aCitizenship$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPolitical participation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLanguage policy 676 $a323.60963 686 $aPOL040000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Lahra$f1974-$0719508 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786998503321 996 $aMaking citizens in Africa$91397080 997 $aUNINA
