American Citizenship: The Quest for Inclusion (The Tanner Lectures on Human Values)

American Citizenship: The Quest for Inclusion (The Tanner Lectures on Human Values) by Shklar, Judith Nisse. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674022164.

In this illuminating look at what constitutes American citizenship, Judith Shklar identifies the right to vote and the right to work as the defining social rights and primary sources of public respect. She demonstrates that in recent years, although all profess their devotion to the work ethic, earning remains unavailable to many who feel and are consequently treated as less than full citizens.
