Reimagining Citizenship

Starting in July 2015, members of the Post Natyam Collective have been engaged in an online exchange on citizenship and its exclusions.  How does a modern nation-state decide who has the right to be a full citizen, and by extension, to be treated as fully human?  Researching citizenship in multiple geographic and historic contexts, our interests include anti-blackness in South Asia and its diaspora, anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe, and the histories of Han Chinese colonizers and indigenous peoples in Taiwan.  Our activities, which will be archived on our blog (www.postnatyam.blogspot.com), include scholarly research and writings, creative studies, and giving each other assignments and feedback.
