Already last December, my German translation of Judith N. Shklar’s American Citizenship: The Quest for Inclusion (1991) was published under the title Voting and Earning: On American Citizenship and the Quest for Inclusion. From the publisher’s description:
Judith N. Shklar’s Wählen und Verdienen describes citizenship as a dynamic process in which marginalized groups must continually fight for the right to be full citizens. In the USA, this struggle always took place against the backdrop of slavery, which, unlike in Europe, was not a mere metaphor, but hovered over all political disputes as a symbol of impending disenfranchisement. For Shklar, the right to vote is only one aspect of citizenship. In a working society, only those who can provide an income have a social status. The right to work is therefore a prerequisite for political participation.
Judith N. Shklar succinctly and extremely insightfully demonstrates that voting and earning are characteristics of modern citizenship. The one presupposes the other: Only those who earn are considered full citizens.
