Can we say the same about the set of disciplinary and regulatory institutions that we call the state? Can we think of it as constituted by feelings and fantasies, too? Zarena Aslami argues that late Victorian novels certainly did. Revisiting major works by Olive Schreiner, Thomas Hardy, and George Gissing, among others, Aslami shows how novels dramatized the feelings and fantasies of a culture that was increasingly optimistic, as well as increasingl 517 3 $aVictorian novels and the fantasy of the state 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial problems in literature 606 $aState, The, in literature 607 $aAfghanistan$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aSocial problems in literature. 615 0$aState, The, in literature. 676 $a823/.8093581 700 $aAslami$b Zarena$01496280 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788679003321 996 $aThe dream life of citizens$93720868 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02731nam 22005053a 450 001 9910831847103321 005 20230124202430.0 010 $a9781526143136 010 $a1526143135 024 8 $ahttps://doi.org/10.7765/9781526143136 035 $a(CKB)5600000000079938 035 $a(ScCtBLL)f05c5562-7fff-49c8-a110-2745e4bfc00d 035 $a(DE-B1597)660143 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781526143136 035 $a(OCoLC)1264401565 035 $a(EXLCZ)995600000000079938 100 $a20211214i20202021 uu 101 0 $aeng 135 $auru|||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 04$aThe Fringes of Citizenship : $eRomani Minorities and Civic Marginalisation /$fJulija Sardelic? 210 1$aManchester :$cManchester University Press,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (215 p.) 225 1 $aTheory for a Global Age 311 08$a9781526174635 311 08$a1526174634 311 08$a9781526143143 311 08$a1526143143 327 $tFront Matter -- $tDedication -- $tContents -- $tSeries editor's foreword -- $tAcknowledgements -- $tAbbreviations -- $tIntroduction -- $t1 Visible minorities, invisible citizens -- $t2 Irregularised citizenship, free movement and territorialities -- $t3 Citizens in the making and inequality of opportunit -- $t4 Minority statelessness and racialised citizenship -- $t5 Out of ignorance and despair? -- $tConclusion -- $tReferences -- $tIndex 330 $aThe book explores the way in which groups 'on the fringes' of citizenship in Europe are marginalized, including a case study on the Roma of Europe. Roma are often seen as having an isolationist culture which doesn't 'fit in' to Western society - and thus considered to be marginalizing themselves. The author argues that this is entirely wrong and that their marginalization is perpetuated by the citizenship laws, policies and norms of European states. The author shows how the new concepts they put forward about the 'fringes of citizenship' and its 'invisible edges' are equally applicable to other groups such as indigenous people in settler societies. This is a vital subject at a time in European history and politics when ideas of citizenship and sovereignty are much under discussion. 410 $aTheory for a Global Age 606 $aSocial Science / Ethnic Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Ethnic Studies 615 0$aSocial sciences. 676 $a305.89149704 700 $aSardelic?$b Julija$01281120 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831847103321 996 $aThe fringes of citizenship$93018182 997 $aUNINA
