Document Summary

A world-stage of nation-building: a comparative and competitive process. Key issue: how to make a national population of citizens from a colonial one of subjects. At the foundation is a key issue: how to make a national population from a group of people who are inherited in the area. Means of incorporation: citizenship, a type of belonging and membership. Citizenship as revolutionary and inclusionary and also conservative and exclusionary. Inclusionary: found equality = the foundation of substantive inequality. Thus, citizenship became a system for managing differences according to an underlying principles of equality and inequality. Citizenship is a dynamic of conflicting and disjunctive processes of change concerning equality and inequality, incorporation and distribution. Two anthropological ways to reveal and study these formulations: Study strategies of inclusion and exclusion of native born pariah population. Study these strategies of inclusion and exclusion comparatively. Relations between citizenship incorporation and distributions vary distinctively.
