Compelling, original, and thought-provoking, Citizenship: The Third Revolution is a masterful book. Drawing insights from the past and present of citizenship to chart a path toward a more inclusive and democratic future, Jacobson and Cinalli envision seams and multiscalar civic corporations as alternatives to fixed borders and boundaries. Their feverishly erudite approach takes interdisciplinary scholarship to new heights. * Ayelet Shachar, Professor of Law, Political Science & Global Affairs, University of Toronto * Citizenship notions embody internal inconsistencies between the interests of members and the social good; the freedoms of insiders and the exclusion of outsiders; and necessary solidarities and norms of justice. Jacobson and Cinalli masterfully review these issues, and creatively suggest resolutions. Their book is an important contribution. * John W. Meyer, Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, Stanford University * Who is a citizen? What is citizenship? Does it matter for democracy? The authors deliver an intellectual and historical tour de force in responding to these questions. A must-read book for social scientists-and citizens. * Andrea Ruggeri, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, University of Oxford * We are witnessing how ideologies of self-interest and of exclusive identity claims are fracturing contemporary societies. Jacobson and Cinalli develop an intriguing suggestion that corporate guilds can help renew democratic society. It is a book about what holds us together. * Herman Lebovics, New York State Trustees Distinguished Professor, Stonybrook * Citizenship: The Third Revolution is an engaging history of the idea of citizenship and its evolution (or, rather, revolutions) from ancient times to today. But it also compellingly moves beyond the narrative into normative territory, seeking to learn from citizenship's revolutionary past to revive our faltering democracies. * Aakash Singh Rathore, International Fellow, LUISS University, Rome *
