What impact does an active democracy have on its citizenry, and why does it fail or succeed in fulfilling its promises? Throughout its history, true democracy has been opposed by those who stand to lose something from it, making the genealogy of citizenship concurrent with that of exclusion and racialization. Bernd Reiter's timely analysis explores citizenry in ancient Greece and the Roman Republic, European medieval city republics, revolutionary France, and contemporary Brazil, Portugal, and Colombia.
