Democracy and the Foreigner

More about the book

The book explores the complex relationship between foreigners and national identity, challenging the conventional view by asking how foreigners might benefit society. It delves into the symbolic politics of foreignness, revealing how discussions about immigration and citizenship reflect deeper anxieties within liberal democracies. By shifting the focus from individual contributions to broader implications, it highlights the ways in which foreignness can both threaten and enrich democratic values and cultural identity.
